Create or change a user account

System>Security>Users

• Only an Administrator can create or modify a user account.

Any user account can be changed or deleted, except there must always be at least one System Administrator.

To create, modify, or delete an account:

1. Select System>Security>Users:

• Click New to set up a new user and fill in the form.
• Use the drop-down list to Select User and click Delete to prevent a current user from future log in. (Alternatively, change the Status to Locked.)
• Modify a user's password, group assignment or status.

2. Click Save and when all desired user account changes are made, click Close.

Locked (out) vs. Delete

Two ways to terminate a user account:

• Delete: When a user account is no longer needed, you can use the Delete function to remove it from view. However, because the account may be needed reconcile audit trail events, the LHC does not actually delete the account from the database.
• Locked: Changing the user account status to Locked is an effective alternative to deleting an user account.
