User Settings and Connections Tutorials

• The Users interface allows organisations to manage their connected users, assign them languages and menu templates, and log them out if necessary.
• Theinterface can also be used to customise what users can view, capture, or edit across all the modules.
• This module can only be accessed by users who have Admin rights.
• Users with admin rights can assign themselves the necessary rights to setup, edit and view all the reports and transactions.
• Where applicable, User Access for a specific module is placed as a Menu (button) option. 
• Users are only allowed to login to a database from one device at a time. If they login from a new device, their session on the previously used device is ended. 
• Logins are validated every five minutes. These checks will discontinue sessions if the user has been disabled or has multiple logins.
• Please note: Users are not automatically created as Contacts. For each user, you must create a separate contact and return to the users’ interface and link the user to the contact.
