Managing User Attributes

Editing existing user attributes

To edit an existing user's attributes:

  1. Click the user's name in the User Attributes table. Information about the user appears, and you can edit the fields, as described in the following table.

    Field

    Description

    User Sets the user name. Used for logging on.
    Preferred Name Sets the name the user prefers to use. This is not the user name; it is simply for your records.
    ID Sets the employee's ID number.
    Security Code Indicates one or more security codes that are assigned to the user. Security codes determine the level of security that the user is allowed. This restricts which items, such as reports and tables, that a user can see to just those items that have a matching security code.
    Security Subset Determines which records and information the user is able to see and manipulate.
    Ability to view MDDB detail tables Indicates whether the user can view detail tables when browsing MDDBs.
    Ability to create SAS reports and new tables Indicates whether the user can create SAS code-based reports and new tables for your site.
    Password Indicates the user's password to access HR Vision. The password is encrypted so that an administrator cannot view it, but you are able to reset it for a user by clearing the field and typing in a new password. When the user logs in, they will be prompted to change their password.
    The password cannot be longer than 16 characters, and is case-sensitive. Additionally, depending on the options that you set, the password might not be able to contain certain special characters.
    Home Indicates whether the user is allowed to see the Home page, which is accessed from the horizontal menu.
    Employee Profile Indicates whether the user is allowed to view and search employee profiles, which are accessed through Profiles on the horizontal menu.
