Admins can add new User profiles by clicking on the AddImage Modified button, edit existing User profiles by clicking the Edit SelectedImage Modified button or delete existing profiles by selecting them in the Grid and clicking the Delete SelectedImage Modified button.

Users can also edit and delete User profiles by double-clicking them in the Grid to open the Record. This action opens the User data entry form where the Admin can define the record's inputs by following the protocol established earlier in this section. Once all Required fields have been satisfied, click the SaveImage Modified button at the bottom of the form. The edits appear wherever the User appears throughout the application.

Admins can also quickly adjust the status of User profiles by selecting the profiles individually and clicking on the Toggle StatusImage Modified button. This is helpful to quickly render multiple User's Inactive, or to quickly make a profile Active if it has become Inactive due to something like multiple failed loggin attempts. For more information on the Status of a profile, see the User Status section of the Edit User portion of this article.

Admins can also select a User profile and click on the Emulate UserImage Modified button, to utilize PCR-360 based on that User's privileges. This is very useful for troubleshooting User problems to see their issues directly.

In the Role data entry form, the User is prompted to define the 'Role' (by name) and the 'Description' used to identify the new Role. Additionally, each Role can be flagged as 'CustomerCenter Only' or 'Administrator'. These flags control certain built-in authority/restriction levels in the application (Note: See below for a listing of specific Administrator privileges). A User is considered to be an Administrator if ANY of their assigned Roles is flagged as Admin. Conversely, a User is relegated to have CustomerCenter Only access if ALL of their assigned Roles are flagged as such.

...

Multiple failed attempts to login trigger a security feature in PCR-360. When a User fails to log in by entering the wrong password multiple times, the User account is set to InactiveImage Modified.  Even if a valid attempt is made, the login is denied. This allows the Admin to verify the User attempting to login is a valid User and not a malicious attacker attempting to log in. If the User is a valid User, the Admin can set the User record to ActiveImage Modified to allow the User can log in. The number of attempts a User can make before their account is set to Inactive is controlled by the Configuration Option AUTH_THRESHOLD_BADPASSWORD .
