❖ Role: This is the role whose associated permissions will be granted to the employee. Important – Please give thought to the role assigned as it will determine what the employee can and cannot do across the system (See User Roles section for more details about roles)
❖ Status: This determines if the username is “Enabled”, “Disabled” or “Locked”. Note: When an employee is locked out because they have reach the maximum allowed number of failed logins, you can unlock their account by setting their status to “Active”
