Set the password for a user

Setting a password for a user is a task that only the Administrator can perform. The Administrator password is required in order to save any changes that are made.

The current user's name is always displayed on the program's status bar.

  1. In Control Centre, choose Staff List from the Tools menu. The Staff Lookup window appears.
  2. Choose the user from the list, then click Edit. The User Details window appears.
  3. Select the Password protect checkbox.
  4. Enter the password for the user in the Password box.
  5. Enter the password again in the Confirm Password box to confirm it.
  6. Click OK to close the User Details window and save the changes that you have made.
  7. Click Close to close the Staff Lookup window.

 

Whenever that user log-ins to a Sage Taxation program, they will need to enter their password.

Note: The same password is automatically used for every Sage Taxation program. For example, if you created a password for a user in Partnership Tax, that user would have to enter the same password when they logged into Control Centre or Personal Tax.
