Rice Lake TransAct 1.0 - Manual (Page 31)

2 7 Creating Logins and Passwords
Creating Security Logins and Passwords
The first time TransAct is opened, the person acting as the administra-
tor can set up logins, passwords, and access levels for everyone who
uses the program. Once the administrator has established those security
items, only a user with administrator-level security access can view or
change those logins, passwords, and access levels.
Users with lower levels of security have restricted access to items in
the TransAct program.
TransAct recognizes four access levels of users and restrictions:
Level 3 Administrator Read, set up, and update everything
Level 2 Supervisor Read, update all except security logins
Level 1 Operator Read all tables, add scale transactions
Level 0 Guest Read selected tables only
Establishing User Access Levels and Logins
When opening TransAct for the first time (after the License Agreement
has been accepted) a prompt appears asking for a login name and
password. The program assumes that this first user is the program
administrator, so the access level for this screen is by default at the
Administrator level.
Login and Password Request
Type in “admin” for the login name and press your computer’s Enter
key. No password is needed for this initial set up, so simply press
Enter twice. The next screen appearing is the User Table where you
can establish user logins, passwords, and access levels for others.
