Setting Up User Security

For multi-user systems, it is important to have security levels for each employee position that logs into the system. To protect security setups, the system requires you to have a high level of security to be able to access this menu option. Security levels range from 9 (highest) to 0 (lowest).

When you limit a user ID to a certain security level, this restricts access to menu options based on the login IDs entered at the login prompt. For example, a user who enters a user ID with a security level of 2 is not allowed to access any functions assigned a security level greater than 2.

The following list contains suggested security levels.

Do not make your security level lower than the security level for Set Up User Security, or you cannot make changes to the security setup.

Use the following steps to set up user ID security levels:

1. On the Main Menu, select System Setup Menu.

User ID

Type the ID of the user position (for example, amgr for assistant manager) for which you are setting the security level.

Security Level

• Set up another user ID.
