Configure Users in a Position

A Security Administrator can add users to a position. Before performing this task a user account must be created and configured in Common. Refer to Create User Accounts in Common for more information. An Administrator can also create user accounts.

Common’s User Management page, where user accounts are created and configured, can be accessed in dspConduct™ by selecting dspConduct > Security > Common: User Management in the Navigation pane.

NOTE: Adding a user in Common allows for a more streamlined process for password maintenance, and is the recommended method for use by a Help Desk or Call Center. In Common, password maintenance is the user’s responsibility. In System Administration, the Administrator must add a password for the user. Aside from password maintenance, after the user account is created, there is no difference between a user account added in Common or System Administration.

NOTE: A user must belong to the Users Manager WebApp Group in dspConduct™ to configure security for dspConduct™ users. An Administrator adds users to WebApp Groups.

NOTE: A user can be assigned to multiple positions. The security setup uses the most permissive setting for users across their assigned positions. If a user is assigned to two positions, one in which a role has an org unit value that is set to read only, and one in which a role has the same org unit set to editable, then the user is considered to have editable access for that org unit value.

NOTE: All users in a position must be assigned to the same calendar in Common. Refer to Use a Calendar for more information.

When including users in a position, role conflicts are applied based on the roles that have been added to the position, and the role conflicts established on the Role (Conflicts) page. Refer to Add a Conflict to a Role for more information.
