Administering Users

The PowerMedia WMS supports two access levels:

• Administrator—Can change the configuration of the system and execute administrative tasks.

• Operator—Can monitor the system, but cannot change configurations or execute administrative tasks.

Commands that are only available to Administrators are noted as such. All other commands are usable by both operators and administrators.

Note: Only Administrators can perform user administration.

Use the System>User Administration command to display the User Administration page, which contains the currently configured users on the system. Administrators can add, delete, and change the attributes of other users.

The attributes are:

• password

• access level

Adding a User

To add a new user, click ADD USER to display the Add User page.

Fill in the following:
