User access rights

User's access rights are defined by:

1. The Resources, which is the list of the pages or functions the user can access.
2. The Options, which define additional constraints and possibilities for the user.

These can be edited on the User details page in Settings -> Human resources -> Users. 
In the program, users will only see modules allowed by their user rights.

Access to resources

For each section/page or function of the software, it is possible to set whether the user can

• create,
• read,
• update, 
• or delete

documents in that section.

Tips:

• Clicking on a row or a column title toggles all rights on that row or column.
• It is possible to copy the access permissions from an existing user.
• To access the Internet kiosk, grant access rights only to the "Internet-kiosk". The administrator cannot access it.

User options

Jump to:

1. Hide costs and prices from the user.
2. Give order approval rights.
3. Lock handler.
4. Limit the IP addresses from which the user can log in.
5. Enable two-factor authentication.

Hiding costs and prices

It is possible to prohibit the user from seeing costs/prices in certain parts of the software.

This can be done at Settings -> Human resources -> Users -> User details, by checking the appropriate checkboxes in the Options section.

Hide prices in procurement:

• Hides all prices in the procurement section.

• Does not allow the user to add new lines to existing POs.

Order approval

It is possible to grant a user the right to approve orders (e.g., Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders) before they are processed further.

This can be done at Settings -> Human resources -> Users -> User details, by checking the appropriate checkboxes in the Options section.

To use this, the Approval System functionality must be enabled.

Lock handler

The "Lock Handler" right can be assigned at Settings -> Human resources -> Users -> User details, by checking the Lock Handler checkbox in the Options section.

What is the right "Lock handler"?

There might be situations where:

1. Several users try to update an entry at once. In this case, the first user gets access to the data, and others are locked out until the first user saves it. The problem arises when the user is away from the computer or has forgotten to finish data entry, and others need to access the computer to finish the data entry or enter new data.
2. Sometimes, when the user navigates away from the entry, the lock might not be released (e.g., if the browser is closed without saving the data). In these cases, only the same user can edit this data.

To solve this problem, there is a special user right that can be granted - the Lock handler:

• If a user with that right tries to edit a blocked entry, a "Take lock" button is displayed next to the "entry locked" notification.
• When a user clicks on the Take lock button, the old lock is canceled, and the entry can be changed by this user.

Be careful using this feature! If the lock has been canceled, the original user will not be able to save their changes. When taking the lock, make sure that the other user is not in the middle of entering data.

Access limitation by IP address

It is possible to limit users' access to only certain allowed IPs, e.g., your company's static IP address.

This can be done at Settings -> Human resources -> Users -> User details, by checking the Access limited checkbox in the Options section.

The Allowed IPs must be set at Settings -> Allowed IPs. 

Notes:

• Before using this function, consult your Internet Service Provider (ISP) if you have a static IP.
• The Administrator user's access cannot be limited by IP addresses.

Two-factor authentication

It is possible to require the user to complete a two-step authorization when logging in. For configuring two-factor authentication:

1. Install the Google Authenticator app on the user's phone who will use 2FA:
   • iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id388497605
   • Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2
   • BlackBerry:  https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/29401059
2. Go to Settings -> Human resources and open the user details page.
3. Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA) for the user and save changes.
4. Click the link Show 2FA key".
5. Open the Google Authenticator app.
6. Click Begin setup or "+".
7. Click Scan barcode and scan the QR code that is displayed,
   or click Manual entry.
8. Enter the key to the field Key.
9. The account can be your MRPeasy username.
10. Time-based must be turned on.

To use this, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) must be enabled.

Hourly Wage

In Settings -> Human resources -> Users -> User details, you can enter a worker's hourly wage, which is used to calculate production costs.

Since this is the total cost of labor, it should include the worker's total expenses, including taxes.

Departments of a user

A user can be added to departments in the Departments section on the user's details page at Settings -> Human resources -> User details.

A user can be in several departments at once.

Internet-kiosk mode

The Internet-kiosk mode is for reporting the completion of production operations.

For accessing the Internet-kiosk:

1. Create a new user at Settings -> Human resources -> Users -> User details.
2. Give access rights to the "Internet-kiosk" only.
   1. If the user should report Serial numbers, additionally provide Create rights for serial numbers.
   2. ALL other checkboxes with user rights must be unchecked.
3. This user will see MRPeasy in kiosk mode.

Internet kiosk users don't have a special price in MRPeasy because the price drops after the 10th user.

Changing the administrator of the account

Only one user can be marked as the administrator of the MRPeasy account.

The administrator is denoted by

1. Italic font on the Settings -> Human resources -> Users section.
2. The checked Admin checkbox on the user details page.

To change the administrator:

1. Log in as the administrator.
2. Go to Settings -> Human resources -> Users.
3. Open the user details of the user you wish to assign as the new administrator.
4. Check the Admin checkbox.
