Select Accounts and Permissions in the Configuration section of the Navigation Window, to open the User Accounts Form, to manage Conquest Users based on their Active Directory account name.
To add a new User:
•Click the New > User Task
•Enter the Active Directory Account Name into the Local Account field
•Enter the name that the User will see in Conquest Apps, into the Full Name field
•Enter an email address for the User, which must conform to one of the Email Domains recorded for your organisation in the Conquest Services Portal by Conquest Solutions Support, in this example gmail.com
•Note: The Services Account Information is not yet available at this stage of the new account
•Set General Permissions:
•Tick the User checkbox for Users, who don’t need to do everything, so are restricted by the Permissions assigned to them, usually to a Permission Group, as well as by the availability of Conquest licences
•Tick Reserve User Licence for those important Users, who must not be delayed by insufficient licences being available
•Tick the Requests Only User for Users, who are restricted to Customer Requests functionality only
•Tick the Reserve Request Only Licence for those important Request Only Users, who must not be delayed by insufficient licences being available
•Optionally set the level of Conquest Map use
•If the User is a Contractor, select their organisation from the Contractor list. Note: there is an “Actions Option” in the Options Form, which can be set to stop Contractor Users from Completing Actions
•In the Group Membership section. Select a predefined Permission Group that the User is to belong to
•Click Save to record the User details in Conquest
•Check that you have the details right then click Update Services, which will either create a Services Record or, if one already exists, update it
Note: When a new Services Record is created it has by default, a Services Role of ‘Customer’ and a Licence Level of ‘Full User’.
You will see that the Email Address has become Read Only. Changes to the Email Address can only be done with assistance from Conquest Support because it is the unique identifier between Conquest Services and Conquest Apps
•Changes to the Services Account Information: update Conquest Services and Local Conquest immediately:
•If you want the User to be a Conquest Administrator, set their Role to Conquest Administrator, their Licence Level to ‘Full User’, tick the Administrator checkbox in the General section and click Save
•If you change the Licence Level to End User, the Administrator checkbox will be become unticked and non-editable
•Note: If you set your own Account to have a Licence Level of ‘End User’, you will no longer be an Administrator after you exit the Accounts and Permissions Form
Things to be aware of:
Unless there is good reason, do not assign; Object, Report and Facility permissions to individual Users. Instead, set permissions in a ‘Permission Group’. See How To Manage Permission Groups;document=Documents\Conquest III User Guide.docx for details.
A User can belong to one or more Permission Groups. When this is the case the Report and Facility permissions are merged. Object permissions are given to the User from a combination of their User and Group permissions, on a “Least Restrictive” basis. See How To Set Object, Report and Facility permissions for details.
