Users
Users are the individual members of your staff who have permission to access some or all of the features in PowerFAIDS. Each user will have their own login username and password.
Once you've created your users in System Administration, you can then assign them to security groups based on the specific permissions you want them to have in PowerFAIDS.
Note: Once you create a user, they will have no permissions by default. For this reason, it is very important to assign a user to a security group immediately after creating them. For more information on assigning users to security groups, see Creating a Security Group.
The initial PowerFAIDS user for each institution is automatically granted administrator privileges. Users with administrator privileges are treated differently from regular users in the following ways:
- Administrators can view and edit the Users page regardless of security group permissions
- Administrators can view and set the System Admin option for other users, granting administrator privileges to additional users
- Administrators cannot be deactivated by another user
Note: If you have administrator privileges, you cannot remove them from your own account. Another administrator will need to perform this action for you if needed.
