Defaults-Users

CBISA™ allows for the creation of several different user levels.  Each user level has specific rights and permissions to carry out the necessary function for their position.  The user levels are defined in three different groups:  Single, Multi, and System.  The System Administrator, assigned by Lyon Software, has all of the rights necessary to add users, add/edit/delete system defaults and programs, manage reporting unit information, etc.  NOTE: A new System Administrator created by the original System Administrator may not necessarily have all rights, but must be given some.  A list of the users and a summary of their functionality is outlined below.

    A Note about User Names and Passwords:  User Names must be unique throughout an entire organization; therefore, when initially setting up User Name accounts, make sure that the procedure for creating new accounts will have enough variables to make each account different. User Names can contain up to 50 characters, but no spaces.  

    Passwords do NOT have to be unique; therefore, every user can be created with the same password. That user will then edit their own account and re-assign a password that they will remember and will remain private.  Each user, regardless of user permission level, has access to their own user information.  Passwords can be between 6 and 15 characters long and must contain at least one letter and one number.  The password cannot contain the word "password" or the user name.

    Resetting a Forgotten Password:  If a user (any permission level) forgets their CBISA™ login password, they may use the "Reset Forgotten Password" tool available from the CBISA™ login page.  To reset a password, the user must know their CBISA™ User Account Name and have a valid email associated with their User Account.  If a user does not know their User Account Name or have an email associated with their account, then a System Administrator or Coordinator with user provisioning may reset the password manually by accessing the user's account and creating a new password.
