Security [U0706]

Introduction

The Security update [U0706] is used to add, change, or delete a user's security record. The following items are covered by this update:

All users must have a security record before they can log on to LeasePak. The security record defines the LeasePak modules that each user may select. For instance, an operations clerk may have access to most operational updates and reports, but perhaps not to management or tax reports. This update allows the supervisor to specify which reports, special functions, and updates each user may run.

The Security update [U0706] is also used to set portfolio security for the user of LeasePak, i.e., the portfolio, company, region, office (P/C/R/O) and vendor that may be accessed. It allows a user to receive access to all P/C/R/Os and vendors in the LeasePak system, or restricts the user to a specific P/C/R/O or vendor. If the Multi Portfolio Security module has been purchased, a user may be given access to a selected subset or group of portfolios.

A report, special function, or update to which access is restricted through the security record is removed from the user's menus and may not be selected. Similarly, lease accounts within a P/C/R/O or vendor to which the user has no access do not appear in any reports selected by the user. The user is prevented from performing updates to any P/C/R/O or vendor from which he or she is restricted. Security access restrictions manifest themselves to the user in that screen defaults appear for the selected criteria. For example, a user is restricted to Portfolio 1. On report selection screens where a portfolio number may be input, 1 always appears for portfolio. This may not be changed by the user. Similarly, in updates requiring input of a portfolio number, 1 always defaults.

This update is also used to set the default parameters which are used in defining the User Report Profile. The User Report Profile allows each user to save the following report parameters as defaults:

Each user has a set of defaults for all reports. Whenever a report is to be printed using the default values saved in the User Report Profile, the only selection necessary is the output device to which the report will be printed. For example, to view the Trial Balance report [R0901] on the terminal PC, the user enters R0901 at the main fast menu and T highlights Terminal at the output device selection screen.

The Trial Balance report [R0901] is then printed to the screen using the default parameters in the User Report Profile.

The user is able to change this User Report Profile at any time or location in LeasePak through the use of a function key. Refer to Getting Around in LeasePak for more information on changing the User Report Profile through the function key.

 

This screen is used to select the Security update option.

 

Add/Change Security

Add New Security Record

This screen is used to enter the username for the user whose security record is being added. The Add option displays, a DEFAULT USERNAME and DEFAULT SECURITY SETTING, for cloning security settings.

 

Portfolio Security Tab

This screen is used to add or change the portfolio security and set a starting point for access to modules for which security will be added or modified.

 

The total remaining LeasePak licenses for Regular, Report Only and Partial Update user's are displayed. The counters are based on the total number of LeasePak licenses purchased and the users security account statuses. The LeasePak Licenses Remaining counters are displayed in all the Security tabs.

 

Menu Security Tab

Menu Security is set up like a directory of folder, with Reports and Updates being the main two "folders" under Menu Security, under which are the report and update categories (for example: R01, U07), and then finally the individual reports and updates (for example: R0205, U1431).

To expand a "folder", click on the + to the left.

 

Once Menu Security has been expanded into at least the Reports and Updates folders, the current highlighted item, whether it is all of Reports or one single update, appears to the right of the check box just below the Menu Security list.

Checking this box gives the user access to that item and anything it contains. For example, if the item is U02 Maintenance, checking the box gives the user access to all updates beginning with U02. If on the other hand, the item is U0210 Asset Maintenance, checking the box gives the user access to just U0210.

For Vertex O users only: Users must purchase Vertex O tax series Interface module to access U0307 Vertex O Disbursal and U0308 Vertex O Journal Update.

 

Reports Tab

This screen is used to enter the first set of default parameters for the User Report Profile. When adding a new user, these fields are defaulted by LeasePak and may be changed. These parameters govern the way reports are generated for the user.

A version of this screen is also displayed by pressing <F11> from anywhere in LeasePak or by selecting Report Profile from the Options menu. This function key may be used anywhere in LeasePak. Pressing <F11> or <control-a> again causes a second User Report Profile screen with additional parameters to appear.

 

Miscellaneous Tab

This screen is used to enter or change security for additional LeasePak functions. If the Add option was selected, all values on this screen are defaulted to the DEFAULT SECURITY SETTING.

 

Limits/Password Tab

Use this screen is to determine the user's waiver tolerance, assessment limit, and password settings.

Field Descriptions

Assessment
LeasePak displays the assessment for which you can set waiver and assessment limits. The recurring charges assessments (4-15) given in this field requires Increased Recurring Charges module.
Waiver Limit
Set the limit the user can waive manually for the particular assessment. If you set the amount to 0.00, the user cannot waive any amount for the particular assessment. If you set the waiver limit to 999,999,999.00 (the default value), the user can manually waive any amount for the particular assessment.

User can waive assessments for leases across portfolios, and the limits set for the Recurring Charge assessments (1-15) apply across all portfolios. For Interest Bearing Loans (IBLs), Principal and Interest waiver limits apply; for all other lease types, the Payment waiver limit applies.

For Payment, Principal, and Interest charge types, the limits apply against the lifetime accumulation of manual assessment or waiver amounts of a particular type of charge for a particular lease or loan. They do not apply on amounts that LeasePak assesses or waives automatically as part of another process.

Assessment Limit
Set the limit the user can assess manually for the particular charge type in the grid except for Payment, Principal, and Interest. If you set the amount to 0.00, the user cannot assess any amount for the particular assessment. If you set the assessment limit to 999,999,999.00 (the default value), the user will have no limit to manually assess any amount for the particular assessment.

For Payment, Principal, and Interest charge types, the limits apply against the lifetime accumulation of manual assessment or waiver amounts of a particular type of charge for a particular lease or loan. They do not apply on amounts that LeasePak assesses or waives automatically as part of another process.

Can access 'Change Password'
Turn this on (check the box) to allow the user access to the Change Password function on the LeasePak Options menu. Turn this off (clear the box) if you want to block the user's access to this function.
Ability to change other users' passwords
Turn this on (check the box) to allow the user to change other users' passwords using the Change Password function on the LeasePak Options menu. Turn this off (clear the box) if you want to block the user's ability to change others' passwords.

Note that you must also grant the user the "alter user" privilege (Oracle) or SSO role (Sybase) on the LeasePak server in order for that user to be able to change others' passwords.

Administrative users with the ability to change others' passwords can also unlock users' accounts that have been locked due to a certain number of failed logon attempts. For more information refer to Change Password.

Days before password expires
Type the number of days before the user's password expires. Use the default value '999' if you want the user's password to never expire.

You must set this field to some other value than '999' if you wish to force a password change at the user's next logon (see Force Password Change on next login).

Force Password Change on next login
Turn this on (check the box) to force a password change when the user next logs on to the LeasePak client. After the user changes the password, this resets to off (cleared).

The field Days before password expire must be set to some other value than '999' if you wish to force a password change.

Auto logout timer
Use this field to specify a maximum time (in seconds) of inactivity before LeasePak automatically logs off the user. For example, if you set the field to 120 seconds and there is no keyboard or mouse input to the LeasePak client for approximately* 2 minutes, LeasePak will display the following message:

The user then has 15 seconds to click Cancel or LeasePak logs off the user. The default value '0' means that the user will never see this message or automatically be logged off.

*LeasePak uses a 30-second interval timer to check for inactivity, limiting the accuracy of the logout timer to within 30 seconds. For example, setting the logout timer to 90 seconds will ensure that users are logged off after a maximum of 2 minutes inactivity.

Create User Home Directories
Create Users Home Directory – This box is only enabled during when the user logged in is a shared user and no directory already exists for the user being added or changed. Checking this box will create a new directory on the LeasePak server under /lphome/ by using the user id. The ability to create this directory will not be allowed if the sysadmin has not created a zero byte file called .netsol_allow_create_home in the lphome directory. In this way, the sysadmin can limit this functionality if they do not wish to give it to the users with access to U0706.

 

XSL Files/Dealer Alerts Tab

This screen is used to set the Dealer Alert permissions, XSL Filenames for different reports, and Relationship Tree Level for the user.

Launch Pad XSL Filename

Enter the name and path of the XSLT file that will be used to display Launch Pad information.

Lease Summary (F5) XSL Filename

Enter the name and path of the XSLT file that will be used to display the Lease Summary screen.

Dealer Alerts

Each Dealer Alert switch works in conjunction with the Dealer Alert tab in the Vendor [U0201] update.


Relationship Tree

Allows the user to set up the relationship tree for individual user. The setting will be applicable to the use of the Relationship Tree across all portfolios.

The relationship tree fields on this screen will appear inactive to the users who does not own the Relationship Tree module.

The relationship tree fields are also cloned when the user's security is cloned.



Users can change the settings to the fields on this screen while the Relationship Tree is actually open. If you attempt to do so, the program will display the following warning message:

Delete Security

Select the username of the user whose security record is to be deleted. The security record must already exist on the Security (RSC) file.

A user's security record may not be deleted if the user is defined as an Application user through the Application User Profile update [U0831], as a Collection user through the Collection User Profile update [U1131], as a Collateral user through the Collateral User Profile update [U1231], or as a Maturing Lease user through the Maturing Lease User Profile update [U1431]. A user's security record may also not be deleted if the user is defined as a team member through the Team update [U0724].

 

 

This above message appears to confirm or cancel the deletion.
