Users

Newton Users are comprised into two groups - Normal Users and Serving Line Users. The User section allows you to change passwords, attach users, indicate the type of user, and inactivate a user when necessary.


Locate and click on the Administration and Maintenance tab. Next, click on the Users.

 

Normal Users

Normal Users are defined by Database Roles (System Administrator, Normal User, Cafeteria User, User-Defined Role) and may have limited access to functions in the program dependent upon allowed permissions.


Step 1: From the Administration and Maintenance tab, select Users. Then, choose Normal Users.


Change Password

Step 1: Highlight the user from the list and select Change Password.


Step 2: Enter the New Password and then Confirm Password. Then, click Ok to save the new password.

As an Administrator, you have the ability to reset User passwords without entering the old passwords. Non-administrators will need to enter old password before changing.

Passwords must contain at least one letter and at least one digit or punctuation character.

 

Attach Users

The list of users comes from the MCS Admin Console. A new user must first be added into Admin Console before it is available to attach in Newton.


Step 1: Select Attach User.


Step 2: Select the Username from the list or use the search function to locate a particular User. Then, click Ok.


Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the User Maintenance window to locate the new user and establish User information.

  • Database Role - Use the drop-down arrow to select a database role from the list.
  • Full Name - Enter the user's full name.
  • Email Address - Enter the user's email address.
  • Inactive - If a user no longer requires access to the system, place a check mark in the Inactive box.


Add Role

Step 1:  Highlight the user from the list and select Add Role.


Step 2: Establish a Role Scope for the user.

  • Cafeteria - Typically assigned to Cafeteria Operators and Line Operators.
  • Cluster - Assigned to users responsible for a cluster of schools.
  • Region - Assigned to users responsible for a region of the District.
  • Entire District - Assigned to System Managers. This option may also be assigned to a user who moves around the District regularly. (e.g. A substitute line operator that fills in for other users at any cafeteria in the District.)


Step 3: Use the drop-down arrow to establish the Cafeteria Role. 


Step 4: Click Apply to save changes if you wish to attach or edit other users. If you are done, click Ok.

Serving-Line-Only Users

Serving-Line-Only Users have access to Newton POS only and may have limited access to functions in the program dependent upon allowed permissions.

 

Serving-Line-Only Users do not need to be added to MCS Admin Console. The ability to add a serving-line-only user, the username, and password can be performed as low as the cafeteria level.

 


Step 1: From the Administration and Maintenance tab, select Users. Then, choose Serving-Line-Only Users.
