USER ADMINISTRATION / SECURITY
Shadow Tracker Professional requires a User Name and Password in order to access the
program. This feature allows the person designated as Administrator, to exercise complete
control over employee access to Shadow Tracker Professional. Security is useful when needing
to prevent unauthorized persons from viewing, modifying or deleting your database records. The
Administrator has full control and access to all program functionality. By defining the specific
permissions assigned to a User’s account, the Administrator can protect database records from
being unintentionally viewed or altered.
I
MPORTANT: The standard permissions applied to a User or User Group account, allow only for
minimal program access. It is the Administrator’s responsibility to further define which areas of
Shadow Tracker Professional each User will be allowed to access. Then, when a User opens the
program, they will have access only to those areas of the program for which they have permission.
The areas they have not been given access to, will be disabled.
N
OTE: Only the Administrator and those User’s who have been granted Administrator status, can
make changes to User permissions.
User versus User Group Security
User and User Group security is defined by assigning rights to specific areas of program functionality.
Security permissions can be defined for each individual User, or for a User Group. Depending on
the number of Users who will be accessing the program, creating a User Group is the most efficient
way to establish security for multiple Users. If you choose this method of setting permissions,
create and define the User Group permissions before defining individual User permissions.
User Licenses
Each copy of Shadow Tracker Professional software comes equipped with a one User License. So
while there is no limit to the number of User accounts that may be created for program access, only
one User will be allowed to access the Shadow Tracker Professional program at any given time.
If you have purchased additional User License’s, they need to be added to the System before
multiple Users will be able to access the Shadow Tracker Professional program simultaneously.
To add a user license:
1 In the Administrator window, select Tools > User Administration.
2 In the User Administration window, select the Add User Licenses button.
