System administrators assign security to all iMIS users on the User page of Security Administration. The Definition tab sets login ID, password, and expiration, and it provides a way to disable security privileges without deleting the user. The Member Of tab lets you view, add, and delete user assignments to specific roles and groups.
Security role and group assignments determine access privileges to areas of functionality within iMIS. Users must be assigned to specific roles and groups in Security Administration before being assigned record-level security privileges. Record-level security is administered at the application level.
Note: You only can edit passwords for Name records that have corresponding records in the User table as defined on the iMIS User Passwords window (select File> System Setup, and select ).

Tips for administering user security
Note: Except for role and group assignments, changes to a user's security profile in Security Administration are reflected in iMIS and e-Series. For example, if a user's password is modified in Security Administration, that user then will have to use the new password to access iMIS or e-Series.
