Question of the Week: "How do I add a user in DataPlus?"

Follow these simple steps to add a new username and password to DataPlus:

  • A user with administrative rights will need to log in to DataPlus.
  • Select "Utilities"
  • Select "User Permissions"
  • Select "New Entry" (the arrow with the asterisk)
  • Type in the new User Id (usually first initial and last name)
  • Type in the User Name (Full Name)
  • Choose whether to give this user Administrative, Read Only or Custom access.
  • Select "Save" (the disk with the pencil)

By default all new user's passwords are set to "tennessee". Each user will be prompted to change their password the first time they log in. If a user has forgotten their password you can reset it back to "tennessee" by clicking: "Reset User's Password to Default".

You can also change a user's access level by scrolling to their username and changing the "User Class" and selecting "Save"

To remove a user from accessing DataPlus simply scroll to their name and click "Delete" (arrow with the red X)
