SA Operator Setup - Other Options field descriptions

Fields are presented in alphabetical order within each section.

Administrative Settings

Allow Unlimited Web Access

Indicate if you want this user to have unlimited web access. If you select Yes, the operator can specify any web address in the Address field and launch an Internet browser to that website.

If you select No, the operator does not have security to access the Internet through the Address field and is limited to those web addresses set up on customer, vendor, and product records.

Give AP Supervisor Status to This User and Give Supervisor Status to This User

Indicate if you want to give supervisor status to this operator. Operators with supervisor status can grant authorization to other users. Operator security as defined in Indicate if this operator has security to view, modify, and delete groups with a specific operator’s initials attached to it. You can allow an AP Supervisor the ability to access a secure group in the event of employee turnover, the need to review and fix update errors, or some other special circumstance. SA Operator Setup for a particular function takes precedence over this setting.

The following list of functions are permitted when an operator is set up to have supervisor status:

Module/Function	Activity
Vendor Invoice Center Entry	Posting the difference between the PO and invoice to a GL account on the General Ledger Distribution window.
Product Setup	Updating the status, product category, stocking unit, kit type, and special cost info.
Product Warehouse Product Setup	Updating the status.

Give System Admin Status to This User

When you select to give system administrator status to a user, the function security settings for SA Operator Setup for that user are overridden. The user is allowed to access pages in SA Operator Setup in update mode.

This option does not determine who can set or change security for other operators. The person authorized to use the sys operator login should perform that function.

User Group

To designate this user as a member of a user group that can be used in SA Database Connection Inquiry for clearing sessions, specify a user group. The user group is a maximum of six characters and must be set up in SA Table Code Value Setup. This user group is different than the event manager user group you can set up.

We recommend that you do not assign a user that travels frequently or connects from different locations and logging in using different devices, to a user group. Then, if a user group clear is required because of a terminal session or network connectivity problem, the user group clear would not include users that may or may not be connected like the users in that group because of  their travel or work schedule. If that operator is connected using the same device as the user group that is being disconnected but is not assigned to the group, you must clear them individually.

Note: This functionality is part of an approval process that helps to meet some of the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
