Configuring Logins without mmcfg.exe Access

The Central Login Configuration can be used by reps without access to the Configuration module (and consequently the Login (US) info area) to define and manage logins.

This allows you to delegate the administration of logins and passwords for individual user groups to "local" administrators. You can further restrict access to the Central Login Configuration info area using access rights, if necessary, see Defining Access Rights.

To configure logins in the Central Login Configuration info area using a template:

1. Add a central login configuration record for the current station (see above).
2. Enter the number of the current station in the Template (Station No.) field as well.
3. Enable Manage password globally to manage the password centrally; any changes to the password in the template login record are communicated to all other stations that this login is present on. If you do not enable the Manage password globally option, all changes except the password are communicated.
4. Save the record.
5. Add a central login record for the desired branch office.

   If you wish to define a login that is valid for all stations, leave the Station No. field empty.

6. Enter the template number (i.e. the current station number) in the Template (Station No.) field.
7. Enable the Manage password globally option.
8. Save the record.

Once the login has been communicated, the user can log on to the corresponding station(s).
