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.
