Security

This is used to establish security for the Lading Manager program. Security is not required in order for the system to work.

Security is turned on and off via the button at the top of the security maintenance screen. When off, everyone has full access to all screens in the system. When on, each user must sign on with a user I.D. and a password in order to gain access.

Screen Layout
The entire list of users is displayed on the left side of the screen. This list may be sorted by either column. Click on the column title to reorder the list by that column. User information is changed on the right side of the screen.

Adding a New User
Press the Add button to add a new user. A new user entry will be established with "NEW" as its User I.D.

User I.D.s
You can establish a separate user I.D. for each person or you can establish generic I.D.s based on user abilities. More than one user can be in the system at the same time under the same user I.D. (But only if you are using a network version of the program.)

User I.D.s are not case sensitive and are 10 characters in length. Any character on the keyboard may be used.

Passwords
Like user I.D.s, passwords are not case sensitive and are 10 characters in length. Any character on the keyboard may be used. Passwords will not display.

Security Functions
Access to each of the screens in the system is controlled here. You can assign full editing rights, view-only rights, or no access at all.

Editing Security
Security may be changed at any time. Simply locate the user in the list on the left and click on it in the list. Then, change the information on the right side of the screen as needed. Don't forget to press the Save button when you are finished.

Deleting Security
To delete security, locate the user in the list on the left and click on it. Then, press the Delete button. You will be asked to confirm the delete.
