User Groups

In Deacom, it is possible to assign security permissions at the group level according to the roles and responsibilities of the individuals within the groups. When an individual User is assigned to a User Group, all security permissions assigned to that group apply to the individual as well. If necessary, individual Users may have different security permissions from those of the Group.

Users must log out and log back into Deacom after their security permissions are edited for the changes to take effect.

Opened via the "New" or "Modify" button on the User Groups form.

Button/Field/Flag

Description

Edit Access

Opens the Edit User Access form, which is used to set security permissions for the forms, fields, and buttons throughout the system.

  • Individual Users inherit the permissions of the User Group to which they are assigned, with permissions set on the individual User level overriding those set on the User Group level.

Edit Doc Access

Opens the Edit Doc Access form, which is used to set permissions for Document Categories in the system.

Edit Grid Access

Opens the Edit Group Grid Access form, which is used to set permissions for Grid Layouts/reports in the system.

  • Setting the security on this form also sets the same security for the User Group in System > Maintenance > Grid Layout Security.
  • The title of the Grid Layout, which represents the name that appears to the user in the system, can be added to the Edit Group Grid Access form by adding the c2_caption field to the Edit Group Grid Access Grid Layout.

Published Data

Allows the user to assign Published Data elements, such as Graphs to the selected User Group.

Copy Favorites

Allows the user to copy Favorites from a User and assign them to this group.

Name

Defines the name of the User Group, such as Accounting, Production, Quality Control, etc.

Pre-fill Job Type

Pick list used for WMS only to determine if all, Maintenance only, or Production only Jobs will be auto filled when selecting Jobs using the WMS > Issue Job transaction.

Issue Type

Option to set the Issue Type (via the "Type" field) for this User Group level when issuing and staging inventory in the main and WMS application.

  • Options are Default, Job, and Staging-Job.
  • Added to remove the need for users to select the issue type on scanners. A typical example would be users in a warehouse group typically staging inventory while production workers would typically issue directly to jobs.
  • The hierarchy to set the issue type field in the WMS Issue Job transaction is:
    • The "Issue Type" field on the User Group
    • Then the "Issue Type" field on Job Categories
    • The "Issue Type" field in Production > Options.
  • If "Default" is selected in this field on the User Group form, the system will fall back to the previous hierarchy of Job Category, then Production > Options to set the issue type field.
  • Added in version 17.04.006.

If checked, this record is active. Only active records may be used in the system.

Require WMS Settings on Login (requires WMS license)
