Your system administrator sets up your user name and initial password. You are prompted to change your password the first time you log in to the system, and you can later change your password at any time.
For Release 9.0 or higher, when you first login you must use your Web Start Page to install Solar Eclipse so the appropriate files are installed.
You can also log in at another user's terminal using your user name. This function is helpful when you are far away from your own terminal and need to use the system.
Note: Your system password is associated with your user profile, which determines which system screens you can access. Typically, this access only allows you to access the screens you need to complete your job functions. Many other features are controlled by the authorization assigned to your system password.
