The aim of this session is to review how operator groups are used to control the user interface and security from a function, action and data prospective.

Discuss in forum
By the end of this session you will be able to:

Operator groups are used to apply security at a data, action and function level to a collective of operators.  All operators in the group have the same menu.

Each time you create a new Operator Group a corresponding menu option must be created in Navigation Manager Editor.

Enter a code to identify this operator group. You can use any alphanumeric characters except '*' asterisk.

SunSystems is issued with a default group defined as 'ZZZZZ' Default System Operator Group. The group is set up with no restrictions, so members of this group can access all functions and all types of data. This default operator group is automatically created by the Business Unit Create and Data Migration functions. You cannot delete an operator group until its associated operators have been deleted or reassigned to another operator group.

Password Interval
Enter the number of days for which this group's Operator Id passwords are valid. When the password expiration is reached, operators in this group are prompted at log in with the message:

Password expired; enter a new password.

Users must enter a password they have not used before.

Individual users can amend their own passwords using Change Password (CPA).

Password Length
Enter the minimum length for passwords used by operators belonging to this operator group. Once you have set the minimum length of characters, operators cannot create passwords with fewer characters than the number specified.
If you want passwords and their lengths to be optional, enter '0' zero. Leave blank to use the minimum password length set for the default operator group.
