3.17 Administer a 963 System
The main task of administering a 963 system is to maintain the users. This involves adding new users, deleting users
that are no longer required and dealing with users who have forgotten their password. If you are administering a 963
Secure system you will also have to expire users that are no longer required instead of deleting them, and deal with
users who have locked themselves out.
The administration of a non-secure system requires you to:
Add Users
Archive Data
Backup the Database
Change Access Rights
Change a User's Password
Change a User's Password without Knowing the Existing One
Clear the Print Buffer
Delete a User
Delete Historic Records
To perform the tasks required too administer a secure system you will need to be a member of the ‘System
Administrator’ workgroup. The administration of a secure system requires you to:
Add Users
Archive Data
Backup the Database
Change Access Rights
Change a User's Password
Change a User’s Password without knowing the existing one
Clear the Print Buffer
Delete Historic Records
Expire Users
Unlock Users
If administering a secure system you may also have the responsibility of checking the audit trail of changes that
have been made by other users. This job does not require system administrator rights, and can be carried out by any
user.
3.17.1 Users
3.17.1.1 Add a User
Once the 963 has been engineered, and each user set up, it may be necessary to add users to the system if for
example someone new is employed, or now requires access.
When deciding on the password, it is recommended that passwords have the following attributes:
Be at least seven characters long.
Use a mixture of upper and lower case characters, e.g. A and a.
Use some numeric characters, e.g. IlikeFruit7.
Be significantly different from previously used passwords.
Should not use common or guessable names associated with yourself, e.g. love or your partner’s name.
Note that if running 963 Secure you will not be able to re-use a password.
To add a user:
1. Log in as described in the ‘Log In’ section of this manual.
Note that if running 963 Secure you must have system administrator access rights.
2. Click or on the Mode menu click Users to select the User Display.
3. Right-click the workgroup that contains the access rights that are to be given to that user, and click Add
User. The Operator Name dialogue box is displayed.
