Setting up default settings for automatically created users

  1. To access this form, select Security Groups (SEG), and the User Default Settings tab.
  2. Specify this information:
    Default Business Unit
    Select a default business unit for users in this group. Users who are group members have automatic access to the business unit forms. Users can use alternative business units by selecting Change Business Unit (CBU). Leave blank if you do not want to set a default business unit for users in this group. Users will be prompted to enter a business unit code when they launch a SunSystems function.
    Default Ledger
    Select the default ledger for users in this group. This prevents budget code requests for those functions that do not have a budget code specifically defined.
    Set Operating System Date
    Select a default login date setting for users in this group. The options are:
    • Confirm at Login: The date is supplied and can be changed, but must be confirmed.
    • Automatic: The date is supplied and cannot be changed. No confirmation is required.
    • Force Entry: The date must be entered by the user.
    Note:  SunSystems uses the date from the server on which the SunSystems Security service is running, as the default date when the user logs in. SunSystems Reporting Services uses the date from the Report server for the Print Date that can be printed on reports. Therefore, it is recommended that the time zones on these servers are set to that of the SunSystems users. If this is not possible, or if there are users in different time zones, then the Set Operating System Date for the users in time zones that are different to the Security server should not be set to Automatic. If the user's time zone is significantly different to that of the Security server's such that when they log in, the default date is not their current date, then this should be set to Force Entry, so that it is not possible for the incorrect default date to be used.
    Temporary Work Folder
    Set the default folder where temporary files are stored for users in this group.
    Note: Environment variables can be entered in the format $AAA\, where AAA is the environment variable name, and shared folders on remote computers can be entered in the format \\BBB\CCC , where BBB is the name of the remote computer and CCC the name of the shared folder.
