This section demonstrates how to add users, change passwords, assign and create roles, and set permissions within the system.
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:
Add Role
Step 1: Highlight the user from the list and select Add Role.
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.
