Users

The purpose of users is to define who has access to your Webroster.net database by providing a user ID and password with full or limited access to selected sections via allocation of groups and geographical areas. Any changes only take effect when the user next logs in.

.As standard practice the Webroster.net system is always supplied with one admin level user called User1. Note: User1 is supplied with full Admin access rights to the software. It is strongly recommended that the password is changed immediately on first use. A list of users is visible on the left. You can select the types of users to see in the list and whether to see Active, Inactive or both.

If Earlypay is active on your system, then standard users will need access to EarlyPay to view and enable staff Earlypay. Staff / client / supplier user accounts do NOT need access to Earlypay

Click Save Changes.

Note: If you enable a user to have Sentinel access then that user’s Webroster.net session will not time out with the 20-minute timer when idle – but will overnight be logged out during the database clean up processes. This may be considered a security concern. However, if a non-sentinel enabled user closes the browser window without logging off then the 20-minute session timeout will be initiated meaning that the user licence will be freed up after 20 minutes. Logging off correctly always frees the user licence immediately.

Access Periods
