User Maintenance Authorization Keys

The following authorization keys apply to maintaining user records and accessing the User Job Queue.

AUTH.PWD.MAINT

Job Roles	System Administrators, Managers
Levels	The level number, 1-999, determines the type of authorization passwords the user can create.
	Level 0 - The user can create a password set for one-time use. The system deleted the password from the list after one use.
	Levels 1 to 998 - The user can create a password for multiple use for the number of days equal to the level number. If the user changes the expiration date, it cannot be later than the system-generated date or earlier than the current date. The system deletes the password from the list following the expiration date.
	Level 999 - The user can create a password set for multiple use with no expiration date. The password is available for use until the user removes it from the list.
Dependencies	None
Examples	For example, only authorized users can approve pricing adjustments that exceed defined limits. Typically, these users are in management positions. When a non-authorized user enters a pricing adjustment in order entry that exceeds the designated limits, the system displays the following prompt: Enter Authorized Password. Authorized users can enter their Eclipse password at the prompt. For example, an authorized manager walks over to the order taker's terminal and enters the manager's Eclipse password. Authorized users can create authorization passwords, which they can tell another user to enter on their behalf. The user requesting the override enters the authorization password at the prompt. This eliminates the need for a manager to walk over to the other user's terminal to respond to the prompt.
Additional Information	Every time a user enters an authorization password at a password prompt, the system sends a message to the user who created the password that describes the password, who used it, and the reason for using it. For one-time password, the message also indicates that the password is now expired.
