Adding or Removing Paradigm Logins
Adding additional user accounts is quite simple in Paradigm. Open System -> Security. At the bottom of the form, there is a place to select a “Template” user. When creating a new login, Paradigm will copy the list filters, main menu permissions, report permissions, layouts, etc. from whichever user has been selected. Click “Add New” to create a new login, and enter the new username in the next pop-up. Once the user had been created, be sure to allow/disallow any additional necessary permissions for the login as well as setting the password for the new user to something unique.
Deleting a login is as simple as clicking the delete button beside the login to remove.
Notes:
-Only administrator level 1 accounts are able to change security permissions and add or delete users.
-The number of users logged into Paradigm at any given time cannot exceed the number of user licenses purchased, but as many Paradigm logins can be created as are needed. (Check the number of user licenses assigned to a Paradigm version by opening System -> Company Setup). Additional user licenses can be purchased from Paragon Computing Solutions.
-Choose the appropriate user type for the user you are adding. There are three basic types of logins:
Administrator Level 1, who has full access to do anything in Paradigm, including changing permissions.
Administrator Level 2, who can do certain administrative activities such as changing IDs, clearing locks, clearing credit holds, editing customer detail information, but cannot change permissions.
User, who is the basic login without any administrative privileges.
Additionally, certain other permissions can be revoked on the ‘Settings’ tab inside of Security.
