I've Forgotten my Password, How do I Remove It? The Users List displays a list of all people who have been given password access to Elite Payroll. You can set up passwords to prevent unauthorised access to your company file and limit particular activities within the file, on a user by user, list by list, and function by function basis. This gives you total flexibility to customise user access rights.
Important Note: When you set up users, you will not be able to access Elite Payroll without a valid user name and password. This is because the Password window will be displayed each time you start up Elite Payroll.
When you create a user—including the Elite Payroll Administrator, Elite Payroll prompts you for a login when you open the company file. You can delete the Elite Payroll Administrator, but only if you remove ALL users from the list.
You can add or change user names or delete users at any time—provided you have the correct access rights.
1 From the Lists menu, choose Users.
2 To add a User, click Users>New.
To edit a User, select the User you wish to change and then click Users>Edit.
The Update User Names and Passwords window is displayed.
Note: The first time that you open the Users List, you'll be prompted to create an Administrator (ADMIN) and administrator password. The Administrator has access to all program functions. You can delete the Administrator, but only if you remove ALL users by clicking Remove All.
To remove all users and passwords, click Remove All. This will eliminate opening the log-in window when you log into Elite Payroll.
3 User Name – Enter the user name. Be sure to get this exactly the way the user specifies, including capitals and spacing. If it is incorrect, Elite Payroll will reject their password.
4 Password – Enter the password carefully—when a user has been set up with a password, you won't be able to access Elite Payroll without the correct user name and password.
Note: Passwords and User names are NOT case sensitive.
Ideally, the password should be a combination of letters and numbers. This type of combination makes it harder for unauthorised people to gain access.
5 Click OK. Re-enter the password in the Verify Password window and then click OK.
6 In the Permission section, you set up exactly which functions each type of user has access to.
Yes/No – Change access by double clicking to change a Yes to a No, or a No to a Yes.
Clear All – Click to change all permissions to No.
Set All – Click to change all permissions to Yes.
List column – Yes allows the user to open and view lists.
Add column – Yes allows the user to open and view lists, and add items to lists.
Edit column – Yes allows the user to open and view lists, and edit items to lists.
Delete – Yes allows the user to open and view lists, and delete items from lists.
7 Click OK.
To delete a user, select the user name, click Users>Delete and then click OK to confirm that you want to delete the user.
Note that you cannot delete the Administrator without removing all users. To delete all users and passwords, click Activities>Remove All. This will eliminate opening the log-in window when you log into Elite Payroll.
