5 | Setting up Sage 200 to use for the first time
Create users
When you have created the configuration database, the
Manage User Lists
window appears. This displays all the Windows User accounts that are members of the
Sage 200 Users
and
Sage 200
Administrators
groups that were specified during the installation.
Users access Sage 200 and Sage 200 System Administration using their Windows User account.
The first time you install Sage 200, all the Windows User accounts will have a status of
New
.
For an existing installation of Sage 200, you can match the Windows User accounts to existing
Sage 200 user accounts. See Upgrading to Sage 200 v2011 on page 1 for more information.
To create your Sage 200 user accounts
1. Check the list of Users on the
Manage User Lists
screen.
2. To create a new Sage 200 user account for all the Windows User accounts with a status of
New
, click
OK
.
New Sage 200 user accounts are created.
You can also use this screen, at any time, to update your Sage 200 user list. For example, if you add or delete windows users in future, this screen is displayed when you open Sage 200 System
Administration. Use this screen to link users again and ensure that only those users who should do so, can access Sage 200.
Note:
When you delete a Windows user account, the user will still be able to use Sage 200 until you refresh the user list, by using the
Manage User Lists
screen.
