How to make a security user inactive
To do this, please click on “Master Files” in the program menu, then “Security“, then “Security Users“.
Find the security user that you want to work with. Double click on the account name or click the “Open” button to the right of the account name.
Click the “Edit” button on the right-hand side.
Change the “Active” dropdown to “No“.
Click the “Save” button.
When you now go to “Security Users” in the program menu, you’ll only see this user if the “Active” drop-down is set to “No“.
How to delete a security user
Before you delete a security user, ensure that you don’t just need to make them inactive. If they are likely to need access again, make them inactive. If they have left your business, do you just need to update their login with their replacement’s details?
To do this, please click on “Master Files” in the program menu, then “Security“, then “Security Users“.
Find the security user that you want to work with. Double click on the account name or click the “Open” button to the right of the account name.
Click the “Edit” button on the right-hand side.
Before you can delete a security user, you must make sure that there is nothing under the “Assigned Departments” column (or whatever you have called your Business Level 1). To do this, click any assigned department, and then click the “<” button, and continue until everything is under “Available Departments“.
Click the “Save” button.
Click the “Edit” button on the right-hand side again.
You can now click the “Delete” button. You will then see a confirmation box – checking that you would like to continue with the deletion.
This is now complete.
