USERS
ResSched Multi-User lets you give different access rights for different ResSched functions to individual users. Access rights are grouped by user function, rather than rights to specific files or records. There are four categories of user: System Administrator, Resource Administrator, General User, and View-Only. The level of access that users have must be selected when they are first added, although they can be changed later.
------------------------------------------------------------
System Administrators (Access level 3)
Having the highest level of access rights, System Administrators can add and change user information, including access rights, passwords, and access suspension. Also, they can change any of the program-wide restrictions, defaults and settings for entering and displaying information. System Administrators have all the rights of other users. Because System Administrators have the "keys to the kingdom," the number of users with their access rights should be kept to a minimum.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Resource Administrators (Access level 2)
Resource Administrators are a special class of user who control access to
resources. They add, change and delete resources from ResSched. Their most important job is determining which general users can book specific resources. Also, they can override booking locks, and create and edit resource groups of resources. Each Resource Administrator has access to all resources entered in ResSched, so some care should be taken in giving users this level of access.
----------------------------------------------
General User (Access level 1)
General Users can book a resource if they have been approved by a Resource or System Administrator for that resource. General Users can also create or change client entries, if the System Preferences have been set to allow it.
--------------------------------------------------
View-Only User (Access level 0)
As the name implies, these users are only allowed to view booking and resource information.
When ResSched is started for the first time, it creates a user with a name of 'FIRST USER' and a password of 'FIRST PASS' . This user ID has System Administrator level access. Use this user name and password to enter at least one other System Administrator user and then delete the 'FIRST USER' user.
System Administrators can also set up user groups. These are lists of general users that can be used to give or remove booking authority for specific resources to several general users at one time.
