Configure Users

About this task

A user is assigned certain tasks in a warehouse depending on the user's role in the organization.

Perform the following steps to configure a user who can access multiple nodes in a warehouse:

Procedure

  1. Open the Applications Manager, and navigate to Applications > Sterling Application Platform.
  2. The application rules side panel is displayed. Click .
  3. The Load Organization For Configuration dialog box is displayed. From the Organization drop-down list, select the organization for which you want to create the user, and click OK.
  4. The organization's rule display in the application rules side panel. Select Security > Users.
  5. The User Search window is displayed. Click in the Search Results panel to create a new user.
  6. The User Details window in which information about the new user is to be entered is displayed. Select the Primary Info tab, and configure the following:
    • From the Menu Group drop-down list, select the corresponding Warehouse Management System menu group.
    • From the Team drop-down list, select the team to which you want to associate the user.
      Note: A user cannot create a node unless the node that is being created will be automatically accessible to the user after creation.

      The newly created node will be automatically accessible to the user in the following scenarios:

      • The user who creates the node is an Enterprise user, and
        • no team is associated to the user
        • the user's team's ShipNode access is set to "All Nodes"
        • the user's team's ShipNode access is set to "Nodes Accessible to Team Creator", and the user who has created the team has automatic access to the newly created node
      • The user who creates the node is a Node user, the user's team's ShipNode access is set to "Nodes Accessible to Team Creator", and the user who has created the team has automatic access to the newly created node.

      Any user who has access to a restricted set of nodes in the user's team configuration cannot create a ship node. Also, if the user is a Node user, and no team is associated to that user, the user cannot create a ship node.

      Note: An Enterprise user cannot perform the following tasks:
      • create a count request across enterprises in a node.
      • create a physical count plan without enterprise in a node.
      • view the count requests that are created across enterprises in a node by a node user.
      • view the physical count plans that are created without enterprise in a node by a node user.
      • view the manual count requests that are created through the Mobile Application in a node.
