Login and Security Screen
The SOLSTAR System Security program is designed to allow the User to designate the systems and functions to which the users have access. This adds to the integrity of the system and the data that is generated and stored in SOLSTAR. There are two types of SOLSTAR users: Security Administrators and Users. Security Administrators have the ability to add and delete users, to change passwords, to change user rights and access. Users can only change their passwords. There should always be at least one User with Security Administrator Status.
