Overview

The Users module defines the users, groups (roles) and rights of each person—system security.

To access the ACME HR and Payroll system, users must provide their user ID and password. This control is added to the Windows security "layers" in light of the increased sensitivity of human resources and payroll data.

The user ID defines the access rights. The user may also belong to one or more groups (roles), which also have access rights. Generally, the more different groups users belong to, the more access rights they will have.

For more details, see Security concepts.

Data

The LOG file contains a system access history. It includes the user ID, date and time at which the user entered ACME HR and Payroll and date and time of exit. It does not include the list of modules accessed.
