Admin Home > Security > User Accounts

In the User Accounts area of Compleat, you can do things like add new users, reset a user's password, configure a user's module access, change their security Group Profile, or simply review their profile.

When you open a user's profile, you have access to a number of tabs offering different configuration for how the user interacts with compleat.

Those tabs are:

• General Details
• Expense Details
• Module Access
• Security groups
• Approval Groups
• Reporting Profiles
• Send Message
• Advanced Settings
• Extended Properties
• Personal Settings

This article explains the configuration options available in each tab, as well as those in the main User Accounts area.

 

User Accounts

When you arrive in the User Accounts area in Compleat, you immediately see a list of your existing Compleat users. Users in grey are inactive users, whose accounts you've deactivated for one reason or another. This means they're using one of your user licences, but can't log into Compleat. In the top-left of the User Accounts area, you can see the number of licences currently in use.

In your list, there's a user called Administrator. This is our own user that lets us perform administrative functions in your company when you need our help. You don't need to configure the Administrator user, and you shouldn't delete them.

 

Quick actions

To open an existing user record, click anywhere on a line.

To create a new user, click the Create New button in the top-right of the User Accounts screen.

To search for a specific user, enter their User Name in the box in the top-left, and click Go. Or, click the drop-down to search for a user by other criteria, including:

• First name
• Last name
• User email address
• Group Profile
• Telephone number
• Last login date

 

General Details

When you open a user from the User Accounts area, you arrive in the General Details tab. Here, you can customise the following:

(mandatory fields are highlighted with a *)

 

Job title	If the user is an approver, their job title will be visible to others in a transaction's Approval Timeline.
First name*	Will be visible on timestamps and appoval timelines.
Last name*	Will be visible on timestamps and appoval timelines.
User email address*	Notifications will be emailed to the user when they have tasks to action. If you don't want the user to receive notifications, enter an invalid email address, eg. nocontact.
Telephone number	Can be configured to appear on purchase orders.
Locale	Defaults to English (United Kingdom)
User name*	Unique identifier that each user will use to log in to iCompleat. It's a good idea to use the user's email address as their user name as it makes transitioning to Single Sign-On (SSO) easier in the future. You should never change a user name once it's been saved. This could cause transaction or audit history to be lost.
User password*	The password the user will log into Compleat with.
User account is enabled*	If ticked, the user will take up a spare licence. It left unticked, the user account will be flagged as inactive, and they won't be able to log in to Compleat.
Group Profile*	You can assign the user to a Security Group Profile.
Default company*	If the user has access to multiple companies, this lets you choose which company Compleat defaults to when the user enters a transaction.
Approval nominee	Set another user as an approval nominee for this user when they're out of the office during a set time period.
Receipting nominee	Give another user temporary access to process receipts on behalf of the user for a set time period. This is typically used when security is applied to only allow a user to receipt their own orders.
Landing page on login	Determines whether the user will land on the Compleat homepage, or Admin Home, when they log in. The user first needs access to Admin Home to be able to land there upon logging in.

 

Expense Details

The Expenses module is a separately licenced Compleat module. If you're using the Expenses module, you have access to this tab to configure the user's access.

To see how to set up the Expenses module, click here.

 

Module Access

Here, you can select which screens a user can access from the main menu in Compleat, and configure which transactions a user can acess and manage for each module.

Each box on the screen represents a Compleat module. The level of access you configure determines whether or not the tile appears on the user's Compleat homepage.

No access	If selected, the tile is hidden from the user's main menu.
Create/manage own	The tile displays in the user's menu. They can create and edit their own transactions, as well as view and manage their existing historical transactions within the module.
Create/manage Group Profiles	The tile displays in the user's menu. The user can create and edit their own transactions. They can also view and manage existing and historial transactions of every user within the group profile(s)

Extended Properties

This tab lets you restrict a user's access to specific codes when entering a transaction, which is useful when code restrictions set against security profiles are too broad.

Compleat only applies extended properties when a field in a security profile is set to Extended Property mode. You can set this by clicking the star icon inside the popup window of a specific field within a security profile.

Once a field in a security profile has been set to Expended Property mode, you can set code restrictions on the field in a user's Extended Properties tab.

Here's how.

1. In the Extended Properties tab, click + Add new property.
2. Select the property name.

   The property name is the field that's been set to Extended Property mode. Eg. VAT code.

3. Select the value.

   This is the specific value that the user will be restricted to.

   .

4. Click Save user.
5. Job done!

   Repeat these steps for any other properties you'd like to restrict access to.

When the user next uses that security profile in a layout, their code access will be restricted according to your settings in the Extended Properties tab.
