plus the 'PIN Mode' and 'User Logon
Mode' for the accounts to be
associated with these users. This
includes reserving ranges of user
ID#s for groups of shared users.
Tip: This is done in blocks of ten (whether
they all will be defined or not).
Note: For multiple groups of shared users to
apply to the same account, ensure the ID
ranges do not overlap.
How to Get Here (Locator)
Select Community Groups from the MyTools
bar, or select [Management] in the tree, and
Community Groups , followed by the Users
tab . Then, select your desired community near
the top of the screen.
Tip: This screen shows the "Shared User Groups" for
one community at a time. The selected "Community"
will be assigned by default, but you can change this if
desired.
Things You Can Do
 To add a new "Shared User Group" to the
list, click the [+] near the bottom of the
screen (or right-click the screen, and select
"
Add New " from the pop-up menu.
 To delete an unused "Shared User Group",
right-click it in the list, and select " Delete ".
Note: You cannot delete a "Shared User Group"
from the list if it is presently being used (i.e.,
assigned to any accounts).
 To enter or change settings for a "Shared
User Group", refer to the item-descriptions
for this screen.
Note: 'Grid' view does not apply to this feature.
Screen Reference
- Community Name: This allows selecting one
"Community" for which "Shared User Groups"
can be viewed, edited, or added.
- Group Name: Each row represents one
"Shared User Group". Select the existing
name, and type to change it to something
more suitable (e.g., "North Users", "Divisional
Managers", etc.).
- Start and End: Use the arrows to select the
start and end value for your desired range of
shared user ID#s (blocks of 10).
- Authority Range: This sets a range of
authority ID#s to be reserved for associated
shared users. This is done in blocks of five
(whether they all will be used or not). Click
the small button here, and then use the
arrows in the small screen to select the start
and end value for your desired range of
authority ID#s (e.g., 1-5, 11-20, etc.). When
finished, click
[OK] .
Note: Since user 'authorities' are tied to 'areas' (and
since security requirements may differ between sites),
the authorities themselves cannot be shared across
multiple accounts. Instead, they are set up as usual
for each account as discussed in step 1C.
- Community Name: When you right-click and
select "Add New", the new "Shared User
Group" is assigned to the present
"Community" by default. If it is not presently
being used, you can change its community
here.
Notice: If you change this value, the "Shared User
Group" will no longer appear here--unless you select
its new "Community" at the top of the screen.
- Assigned Accounts: For "Shared User
Groups" that have been assigned to
account(s), a small button will appear here to
allow viewing the associated accounts.
Authority Name
- Authority: This shows each reserved
authority ID number for the selected "Shared
User Group" row (select the desired row
above first).
Note: When you first add a "Shared User Group", its
authority information will not be available here until
you either click the "Save" button, or go to another
screen, and then return to this one.
- Name: This is a reference description that will
appear when assigning authorities to groups
of shared users.
It is useful to set these to indicate the reserved ID#
(such as: "1st ID--CEO & Directors", "2nd ID--
Division Managers", etc.).
