The Tools | User Management command lets the administrator add, remove reset password, assign access privileges and to perform other user related tasks. This command is available only when you login as administrator in the Line Database Enterprise version.
TO DISPLAY USER LIST:
1. Click on "User" located on the toolbar to open the 'User's form.
The Users List Dialog will appear. The form has two pages: Users and Groups.

The Users page shows list of users with login ID and other user information. It also indicates whether a user has “administrator” privilege, which is required to run this Administration Program. User group membership, status, privileges to edit setting and test template and privilege to setup database reports are displayed as well. Initially, the Users Form contains only one account: ‘ADMN.’
Every user in the database must be assigned to at least one user group. The Groups page of the Users form contains a table of user groups that shows a summary of user privileges in the group on a form-by-form basis. The Line Database does not let user open, view and change information in data forms unless the user belongs to a group with the necessary privileges. Specifically, for each of the data forms, you can grant a one or more of the following privileges:
A: Add a new object. The user can enter data for the new object immediately after it is created. The user can also modify the data during the session.
D: Delete an existing object.
M: Modify the data.
R: Open the data form for viewing.

The following are the general rules for granting privileges to the data forms:
