Changing the settings for a user

To change the settings for a user:

    1. Navigate to the Users tab in the System Administration module.

    2. Expand the GainSeeker Logins tree (if needed).

    3. For the user you want to change, expand the tree.

The settings you can change include:

Active Directory association

Before modifying this setting, refer to this topic: Active Directory

Configuration=

The configuration contains the program settings you want to be applied for this login name. For more information, see Configurations

If this user was created with the default settings (instead of copying an existing user), its Configuration will be set to Default Settings Configuration. This means that this user will use the GainSeeker default configuration settings instead of using a specific GainSeeker configuration.

To select a different configuration for this user, right-click or double-click Configuration. Then you can select from a list of available configurations.

Email address=

When this user logs in to a GainSeeker module and emails a chart or other information from within GainSeeker, the "From" address on that email will contain the email address you specify here.

To specify an email address for this user, right-click or double-click Email address.

Email options (if necessary)

If your email system requires its own login name and password for authentication:

  1. Expand the Email options tree.

  2. To enter this user's email login name, right-click or double-click Email login name.

  3. To enter this user's email password, right-click or double-click Email login password.

Language

You can configure this user to run the PC Collect module in English, Español (Spanish), or Français (French).

You can also use the default setting: Use Windows display language:

For details about running PC Collect in another language, see Setting the PC Collect Language to Spanish, French, or English.

Password =

To set or change the login password for this user, right-click or double-click Password. If you want to clear the password, leave the New password and Confirm new password fields blank.

Passwords are case-sensitive.

When you use the Administration module to change a user's password, GainSeeker does not log the user's previous password.

Password options

To set GainSeeker policies on forcing this user to change their GainSeeker login password, or to find out the last time this user's password was changed, expand the Password options tree.

Notes

Password expires after

Force this user to change their login password at scheduled intervals,

—Expand this tree and select a time period from the list.

If Password expires after is set to a time interval, this item will display the last date when this user's login password was changed.

When a user is forced to change their password at scheduled intervals, GainSeeker will prevent this user from setting the new password to match any of their last three passwords. (However, you can reset their password to match one of the last three passwords by using the Administration module to change the password for this user.)

Disable the mandatory password change at scheduled intervals—

—Expand this tree and then click Never.

Force this user to change their login password the next time they log in to GainSeeker—

—Select this checkbox: Password must be changed at next logon

This is useful when you first create a new user with a generic password or a blank password: The System immediately prompts this new user to set their own password.
