Adding & Editing Users
Below are the instructions for setting up access for new Users of your TYR system and for editing details associated with existing users.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When a User should no longer have access to your TYR system, follow the procedure for Inactivating Users.
To Add a New User

In the System User window, enter the basic User details:

Change the Date Active if you prefer a date different than today.

Select Authorized to Make Backups if appropriate.
