Creating or Editing Users
Before creating a user, search existing users to make sure you do not create a duplicate. Users intending to create user accounts must have View and Edit rights for the Contact, User, and Preferences object to successfully complete the task.
Note: If you are editing an existing user in a way that affects their access rights to records or other features, and that user is presently logged in, some of your changes might not take effect until that user ends their session and then logs back in.
To create a new user, you enter information similar to the following image.
To create or edit a user
- Click the Admin tab.
- Click the Users link under the tab bar.
- Click the New button.
- Select an Authentication Type.
- Enter a User Name. Maximum length: 50 characters. User names cannot contain spaces or more than one @ character. (Note: Username should not start with a number)
- Enter the user's Password. Maximum length: 250 characters. Restrictions are based on the Password Parameters on the Security page of Admin Settings.
- Retype or copy the password into the Confirm Password field.
- Click the
Search Contacts icon and search for a contact to associate with the user. Create a contact record for the user if one does not exist. - Select a User Type from the drop-down list.
- Super—Can access all public and private records, as long as the user has group rights to those records.
- Normal—Can access all public records. Can access private records only if record-level security is granted to the user.
- Limited-privilege—Can access only records created by the user and records to which they have been granted explicit access by another user. Limited-privilege users will only see records to which they are assigned unless they are specifically assigned rights at the record level.
If you need to allow limited-privilege users to perform tasks not normally available to them, such as the ability to approve an invoice, there must be a rule written that gives them record level rights to the invoice so that they can see and approve it.
- Select the Account is active check-box.
- Click a save option.
Note: If your licensing scheme specifies a limit on the number of named active users, and the user you are saving is active and would exceed the limit, you will see an error message. You can retain the user's information by clearing the Account is Active check-box, then trying the save again. For details about licensing schemes, see Viewing Information About Your Product License.
Note: Newly added users will be temporarily unable to see data on reports that are run from the Reports tab. This is because Data Warehouse does not yet have the new user's information and cannot determine their security rights. This situation will resolve itself when the next Data Warehouse refresh job runs.

Rights to work with either specific record types or all record types are set at the group level. At the user level, there is an additional setting (User type) that determines whether the user has access to all public records or limited access to records.
Note: If you need to allow limited-privilege users to perform task s not normally available to them, such as the ability to approve an invoice, there must be a rule written that gives them record level rights to the invoice so that they can see it and approve it.
To create a limited-privilege user
- Create users. See Creating or Editing Users.
- For each user, from the General page, User type drop-down list, select Limited-Privilege.

The user's Preferences page opens.
For information about field descriptions, from the User Guide or help, search for Personalizing Your Settings.
Unlocking User Accounts
To guard against unauthorized access, you can limit the number of failed login attempts on the Password Policy page of the Admin Settings area. For details, see Security Settings.
When the Enable User Lockout check-box is selected, users have a specific number of attempts within a time interval to successfully enter a password for their user name. If users exhaust their number of attempts, TeamConnect locks the user account, preventing login attempts.
Whether user accounts are locked due to unauthorized individuals attempting to access the system or legitimate users who enter incorrect passwords, you can unlock user accounts if you have Update rights to user accounts.
To unlock a user account
- Search for a user and open the user's account.
- Clear the Account is Locked check-box.
This check-box only appears on the General tab when a user account is locked. - Click a save option.
The user account is unlocked and user access is restored. The Account is Locked check-box is removed from the General tab of the user account.
When an account is locked, TeamConnect does not attempt to assign a new password. If desired, you can assign one (for example, if a user cannot remember the current password) or prompt the user to change the password on his or her next login. See Creating or Editing Users.

Assigning or Viewing User System Rights
From a user account's System Rights page, you can do the following:
- (For users created in TeamConnect version 2.x or earlier) Assign and view rights to records, application areas, and application features at the user account level.
In addition, view rights to records, application areas, and application features inherited from the users' member group(s). - (For users created in TeamConnect 3.x) View rights to records, application areas, and application features inherited from the users' member group(s). For these users, you cannot assign or manage record rights at the user level. You must edit a member group's record rights.
For more information, see Assigning or Viewing Group System Rights.
(For users created in TeamConnect 2.5 SP4 or earlier) You can assign rights that apply:
- Globally—If you expect to enable rights across multiple record types or multiple application areas, work with these types of rights to save time. Global rights are organized into three groups: User rights, Admin rights, and Setup rights.
For example, if you select the View drop-down list, User Rights option then the resulting page you can assign rights to view all contact records, view all document records, view all project records, etc., with one button click. - Individually—If you expect to enable rights for a limited number of record types (for example, allow access to a couple record types), work with these types of rights.
For example, if you select the View drop-down list, Contacts option then from the resulting page you can assign more granular level rights such as View Contact records, Edit Contact records, Create Contact records.
Note: In the screenshot above, the check-boxes under the Group column are read-only.
Rights are cumulative. If a user has rights assigned at the user-account level and rights inherited from member groups, the user's rights are the sum of user rights and member group rights. If a user is a member of multiple groups then the user inherits all rights assigned to all groups.
If you assign global rights to a user and later add a custom object (record type), category, or custom fields, it is recommended to manually grant access rights to the new object, category, or custom fields.
To assign or view individual record rights
- Search for a user account and open it.
- To change record rights, from the left navigation pane, click System Rights.
- From the View drop-down list, select an option (for example, Contacts).
- (For users created in TeamConnect 2.5 SP4 or earlier only) You can do one or more of the following:
- To assign a specific record or area right, select the check-box for the permission under the User column.
- To unassign a specific record or area right, clear the check-box for the permission under the User column.
- If you are viewing existing rights, the User column displays rights assigned at the user account level. The Group column displays rights inherited from member groups.
- (For users created in TeamConnect 3.x) The Group column displays rights currently inherited from member groups.
The System Rights page for a user created in TeamConnect 3.x does not display a User column. - Click a save option.
