Users

Use the Users form to register users in the application. A user ID and profile is required for each user who uses the application.

You can also specify this information:

  • Passwords needed to log on to the application
  • Workstation IDs, so users can bypass the login dialog box
  • Email addresses, so notifications can be sent about automated tasks, and so automated prompts can be sent to which users can respond through external email, if Send External Prompts is selected
  • The default language specification to use for automated emails
  • Editing permissions that determine whether users can create or customize forms
  • Security authorizations for this user at a form level or a component level
  • The groups to which the user belongs and the security authorizations for that group
  • Additional information about login and password expiration, including whether users are allowed to sign in remotely
  • Source control login information for the user
  • Additional information about the user that the application needs

When you add a user, the Email Address tab is not available until after you have saved the new user record.

Use the Source Control tab to register user login credentials for the source control system. This is required only if the user must have access to files that are controlled using a source control system.
