Introduction

Every employee can have a linked user for the MX application, or if enabled, for the portal application. While employees are assigned to organizational units (e.g. for restricting access to certain accounts or quotations; refer to  ‘Organization Unit, Distribution Channel and Division’ for more details), users are assigned roles to control what actions a user can take and what data the user can access (refer to  ‘User Preferences at a System Level’ for more details), and how the user interface will look like (refer to ‘UI Configuration’ for more details).

Displaying User Information

Under path ‘Administration’ → ‘User Management’, an administrator can display respective user information:

By either clicking on the username, last name or first name, the administrator can review all the user’s details:

On the aforementioned screen, the following sections will provide additional information about the respective user:

1. User Information; details such as the respective role assigned, authentication methods, default settings such as language, currency, time zone, etc. is maintained here.
2. Notifications; the administrator can configure what kind of email notifications will be sent to the employee's email address.
3. Report Templates; here, the administrator can select a default proposal template that are available on the role (refer to ‘Role Management’ for additional information).
4. Employee Information; this is the linked employee (refer to  ‘Employee Management’ for more details).
5. Address Information; this is the address of the linked employee (refer to  ‘Employee Management’ for more details).
6. Organization Units (read-only); this is a list of organization units the employee (which is linked to the user) is assigned to.
