General user settings

When adding and editing users the general user settings are as follows.

  1. Specify this information:
    Full Name
    You can use this field to record the user's full name which may not be appropriate as a log on name, such as Mr Joseph Smith.
    Description
    Use this field to record a detailed description of the user, such as job title or department.
    Title
    Use this field to record the user's department or position within your organization.
    Standard Authentication
    Check the check box if you want to enable standard authentication for this user.

    You can then click the Query button to display the Change Password dialog. To change the password you must enter the existing password, the new password, and retype the new password to confirm it.

    Note: If you are adding a new user to the User Manager, there is no existing password to enter prior to changing the password. Simply enter a password, and retype the new password to confirm it.
    Preferred Language
    Select the user's preferred language. This will control the User Manager interface.
    Note: If you select Arabic as the preferred language for a user, you also have the option of using the Hijri calendar throughout SunSystems for that user. The calculation method for Hijri dates is based on the Umm al-Qura version of the calendar.
    Email Address
    Optionally, enter the email address of this user.
    Last Logon Date
    This field is available to administrators only and shows the date this user last logged on using SunSystems Security. If the user has never logged on, this field displays the date they were created.
    Lock Status
    This field is available to administrators only and shows whether the user is unlocked or locked. That is, if they are unlocked then they are free to use the system; if they are locked, for example, because of using an invalid password, it means they cannot log on to the system. Click the browse button next to this field to display the Lock Status Details dialog which provides more information. Using this dialog, the administrator can change the status of a user from Unlocked to Locked, and vice versa.
  2. Save your changes.
