User administrator authority - assign/remove

The first option on the Menu Rights tab is "Grant 'System Administrator' authority."  This option is typically used to temporarily give a person rights as SMGR, in the case that the usual SMGR is on vacation or out of the office.

To assign or remove a user's system administrator authority rights:

  1. Double-click Setup and Manage.
  2. Double-click User IDs to display the list of users on the right side of the window.
