Setting a user's password

You must have Administrator-level access to set or change a user's password.

User Password

To set or change a user's password:

1.Open GDS > Configuration Settings > Users and Passwords.
2.In the User list, click in the Password field of the user whose password is to be set or changed.
3.In the User Password window, enter the new password twice.
4.Click the OK button to save the new password or click the Cancel button to discard it.

Setting user permissions

Users can have varying levels of access to the Workshop Manager. Varying this level of access effectively restricts a user's access to only certain parts of the system. There is also a setting which restricts a user to read-only access. In this case the user can view all parts of the Workshop Manager but cannot add, change or delete anything.

1.Open GDS > Configuration Settings > Users and Passwords.
2.In the User list highlight the user whose permissions you want to change and click the User Permissions icon UserPermission24 in the toolbar.
3.Click the Edit icon Edit24 in the toolbar.
4.Select the required permissions by checking or unchecking the options as required.
5.Click the Save icon Save24 in the toolbar to save the changes or click the Cancel icon Cancel24 to discard the changes.
