Rice Lake TransAct 2.0 - Manual (Page 13)

12 Logins and Passwords
6.0 Logins and Passwords
The first time you open TransAct, you operate at the administrator level and
can set up logins, passwords, and access levels for everyone who uses the
program. Once the administrator has established these security items, only
a user with administrator-level security access can view or change 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
6.1 Establishing User Access Levels and Logins
When opening TransAct for the first time (after you accept the License
Agreement) a prompt appears asking for a Login Name and Password. The
program assumes that the 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 admin for the Login Name and press the Enter key. You do not need
a password for this initial set up, so simply press Enter again. The next
screen that appears is the User Table. The User Table allows the administrator
to establish user logins, passwords, and access levels for all users.
