Adding a DynaStar™ User Logon

Adding a DynaStar™ User Logon

(Only users that belong to the Administration Role can see the Security Manager)

1. Click the Admin Module tab.
2. Click the Security Manager.
3. In the All Roles area of the Security Manager, choose the Role to add a user to, by single clicking the Role Name to highlight it.
4. In the Users in "role name"area click the New button.

5. The User dialogue screen will appear. Depending on the Authentication Method set on the Security Tab of the Business Settings Manager, there will be a slight difference in the dialogue fields which will be accessible for filling in. If using Active Directory Authentication, the password fields will not be available as DynaStar™ does not store nor allow the changing of a User's Active Directory Password.

In the graphics above the Dialogue on the left is using the Authentication Method: DynaStar.
In the graphics above the Dialogue on the right is using the Authentication Method: Active Directory.

6. If the User:

is already in the Personnel Manager's records, select the Choose from the personnel table checkbox to access a drop-down list of personnel Usernames that do not already have logins.
is not already in the Personnel Manager's records and the Authentication Method is DynaStar, then fill in the Username, Password, Confirm Password, First Name,Last Name and Email fields for the employee to be added as a User to the Personnel Manager with a login. Removing the check from the Active check box will make that user inactive in the Personnel Manager. Note multiple users may use the same email address.
is a Contractor, select the Contractor checkbox. If the Contractor checkbox is selected, a Vendor field will appear so the User can be associated with a specific Vendor from the Vendor list.

7. When finished:

click the OK button to save the user to role, or
click the Cancel button and close the User dialogue, or
click the Reset button to clear the values entered in the User dialogue fields.

8. When finished adding User Logons, click the OK button to close the Security Manager.

TIP:
Many clients will have one Role in the database called something like Basic or Everyone. That Role would be the basic set of permissions that any user would receive if they have a logon to the application. Administrators would create all logons using this role, then add users to additional Roles where necessary.
