Click the Vendor Groups tab and select which vendors in designated vendor groups to assign to the new users by clicking the box for the Selected column to the left of each desired vendor group.

Click the Ship To Addresses tab and select the ship to addresses to assign to the new users by clicking the box for the Selected column to the left of each desired ship to address.

A checkmark will appear in the box if the ship to address or field is selected.
Click the Approval Trees tab and select the approval trees for which to assign to the new users by clicking the box for the Selected column to the left of each desired approval tree. If the new users will not be tied to any approval trees (for example, if the Allow Override of Approval Tree field in the Requisition Options option is selected so the users can select any approval tree as needed), select the No Selections Needed field located above the Approval Trees List. A checkmark will appear in the box if the approval tree or field is selected.
Click the Employee Groups tab and select the employee groups for which to assign to the new users by selecting the applicable usages for each employee group (PR WL Reports, HR WL Reports, NG WL Reports, and/or WL Leave Request Entry).

A checkmark will appear in the box if the field is selected.
Note: The System Group field indicates if the employee group is the standard one defined for all employees; the field cannot be changed.
All the active employees who are not yet set up as a user (based on the designated Employee ID for a user) appear in the Employee Selection List. Select the employees for which to add as users by clicking the box for the Selected column to the left of the desired employee. A checkmark will appear in the box if the employee is selected. To select all the employees listed on the screen, click the Select All button located above the Employee Selection List. If desired, change the filters to modify the employees displayed here.
Note: If an employee displays here with a User ID, the specified, existing user will be updated instead of the system creating a new one for the employee.
Click the Execute button to add the users as specified.
When prompted to continue, click Yes.
When adding employees as new users, the User ID for the new user will be the same as the Employee ID defined in the Employee File, and the password will be the last four digits of the employee's social security number (if a social security number is not entered in the Employee File for an employee, the password will be the user ID).
Note: If desired, a user is able to change his/her password after logging into the School Accounting System or the Web Link module (if applicable), or a supervisor or Web Link administrator can reset a user's password if needed. If the password does not meet the complexity as defined on the Password Policy screen in the System File, a user will be forced to change the password after initially logging in.
