Users identify the person to finPOWER Connect so that they may be validated and given permissions to use the Company Database. finPOWER Connect retains preferences for each user, so that a user may customise certain aspects of the system to their liking.

• You need to define all the people that will be using the system as Users.
• We strongly suggest using the same User names as the user's Windows login name.
• This is because finPOWER Connect will default the Windows' login name in finPOWER Connect.
• All Users must login and be validated when opening a Company Database.
• You can define Roles and assign users to these Roles.
• Permissions are granted to Roles; the Roles that the User belongs to then forms the final permissions for the User.
• Any User can be granted "Administrator" rights. In this case they have full rights to any part of finPOWER, regardless of any Roles and Permissions defined.
• Only "Administrator" Users can amend Users, Roles and Permissions.
• Users can be restricted to "Read-Only" rights. This means they cannot save any changes to the database.
• Users can be disabled (set to inactive) rather than deleted. This might be used when the user is on holiday, and therefore no one else can use their login.
