Add Users and Personnel Classes

Users are the people who have access to various areas of your facility. Personnel classes are used to configure common user properties.

About this task

The following steps outline the process for adding users whose Workflow security credentials you plan to manage strictly within the program. You can also use Windows domain user accounts to manage access to and within Workflow. For more information, see Windows Domain-based Security.

Procedure

In the navigator, click Personnel.
In the Folders list, select the resource type you want to work with.

Tip: As more lists appear, select the appropriate resource until you find the one you want to work with.
Click Add.
In the Name and Description fields, enter a name and description for the resource.

Note: There may be limits to the type and number of characters you can use.
Click OK.

What to do next

After creating a Workflow user, you must configure the user's security credentials; otherwise, the user will not be able to log into Workflow.
