User Management (SME900)

Use the User Management (SME900) program to monitor user activity and remove users from the system or by company.

User Management (SME900) is also available from the System Install menu. When all users are locked out of FACTS, an authorized user can get to User Management from the System Install menu to let the users get back in.

In the Company field, the system displays the company for the user as the default. You can press F1 to review user information for all companies. The All company option is only available if the user running User Management (SME900) has access to all companies on the Security tab of User Code F/M (SMF410).

Note that when you access this program you are signed out so you do not display in browser. The system displays a highlighted message in the upper left corner of the screen so remind you that you have also been logged out and your user record is not visible in this program.

 

In the browser in the lower portion of the screen, the system displays the FACTS user count, user id, user name, TCPIP address, network id, operating system user id, the FID(0), the T number and Base ID.

 

User Management (SME900) allows you to give "Free Passes" to signed-on FACTS users, which allows those users to remain signed on when everyone else is forced out of a company or entirely out of FACTS. The purpose is to allow the system administrator to selectively allow some individuals to continue working while they keep others out, allowing them to complete tasks like month-end processing. To maintain Free Passes, right-click on any user from within User Management. You can select Update This User’s Free Passes to select to give the user a free pass for the company you currently are logged into or all companies, or Clear All Users’ Free Passes to remove free passes from all users in the FACTS system. A Free Pass is only valid while the user is signed in, and it applies to all of that user's sessions which are signed in. To view free pass information for all users, select Options-->Show All Free Passes.
