Create and Edit Users

Security Administration > Manage Users > Create and Edit Users

This page is used to create new users or edit existing users. You can establish the roles and permissions associated with each user.

In addition, you can establish the components within ASCENDER to which a user can access. After creating users and performing other functions, you must exit any applications to which you are logged on to refresh the security permissions.

Create a user:

❏ From the Manage Users page, click New User. The New User page is displayed.

Field	Description
Last Name	Type the user's last name. The field can be a maximum of 30 characters.
First Name	Type the user's first name. The field can be a maximum of 30 characters.
Middle Initial	Type the first letter of the user's middle name. This field is optional and is only one character.
User ID	Type a user ID for the user. The field can be a maximum of 29 characters. The first character must be a letter.
Profile Name	An automatically generated name assigned to the user that links the user ID to the user permissions is displayed. Currently, the ASCENDER Student applications do not use the profile name, although the profile name is still populated for the user. In most cases, the user ID and the profile name is the same. The following scenarios present instances when the user ID and profile name may differ: When saving a new user, if the profile name is a duplicate of a deleted user’s profile name, a message is displayed that the profile name is a duplicate and a new profile name must be entered. When changing the user ID of an existing user, the profile name does not change.
Employee Nbr	Type the six-digit employee number that is assigned to this user in Personnel. The autosuggest displays employee numbers even if the employee does not have an employment info, pay, or job record. Although completing this field is optional, it is necessary for employees to access pages with account codes, such as the Purchasing > Maintenance > Create/Modify Requisition page and most pages in Finance. Users who are also approvers will receive an email notification when changes are made in EmployeePortal.

❏ Under Set Password, type a password for the new user. Typically, this is a temporary password that will be provided to the user, and you will have to select Force Reset Password on Login to require the user to set a new password after logging on with the temporary password.

Password	Type the user password. Requirements: • 8-46 alphanumeric characters • Three of the following: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters • Case-sensitive
Confirm Password	Retype the password you entered in the Password field.

For Business users:

❏ Under Pay Frequencies, a list of available pay frequencies is displayed. Select the pay frequencies to be assigned to the user.

❏ Under Warehouses, a list of available warehouses is displayed. Select the warehouses to be assigned to the user.
