The table below explains the standard fields on the User panel.

Field

Description

First Name

User's first name. For example, Susan.

Each Sage CRM user must have a unique email address assigned. You cannot assign the same email address to two or more Sage CRM users.

User Name

Each user name must be unique. A user name entered with a leading or trailing space is trimmed automatically to remove these.

Password

A user's logon password must begin with a digit or letter. You cannot use a special character as the first character in a user's logon password.

Administration

Sets the administration rights of a user. Select from:

No Admin Rights—for a basic user with no access to Administration.

Info Manager—has the rights to edit existing reports and add new ones, and has rights to the Marketing button. Also has limited access to Administration. The choices available in the Administration context area are dependent on the Info Admin Rights defined in Info Admin Rights field. For more information, see Creating an Info Manager.

System Admin—has full access to Administration.

From Template—assigns the administration rights set in the template selected from the User Template drop-down list.

User Template

Select a predefined user template from the list of existing templates. When you select a template, all fields you specified when you created the template are applied to the current user.

Primary Team

The default team that's displayed when the user clicks Team CRM. It's also the only team that's displayed if no teams have been selected in the Display Teams field.

Home Territory

Security territory of the user. For example, USA. A user with a Home Territory of USA can access records in the USA territory, and records in subordinate territories—for example, West, East, Mid-West, South, North. If no security territories are set up, this defaults to the World Wide territory. The World Wide territory allows access to records in all territories. For more information, see Adding records to a territory.

Synchronize With Exchange Server

Read-only field available when Exchange Server Integration is enabled. Only visible when the user record is in view mode. When a user's mailbox has been enabled for synchronization with Exchange, the check box is selected. For more information, see Enabling user mailboxes for synchronization.

Resource

Set to True, the user exists in the user table and is selectable from all user selection lists in the system. However, the user does not have rights to log into the system (and does not require a user license). This means that, for example, a meeting room resource can be set up as a “user” to facilitate meeting scheduling, without using up a user license.

Show Exchange Server Integration Logs

Available when Exchange Server Integration in enabled. Set to Yes to display a new tab, Exchange Integration Logs, in My CRM. This gives the user access to their own logs, which display information on conflicts, skipped items and synchronization, specific to their Exchange mailbox.

License Type

Only available in installs with Concurrent licensing. Select from Named or Concurrent. Named should be selected for users who require permanent access. For example, System Administrators and permanent staff. Select Concurrent for shift workers, part-time staff, data entry temporary staff etc.

Disabled

Read-only check box, displayed after a user is saved. Checked when a user is disabled.
