Using Overrides

Overrides enable a manager to grant an employee one-time access to functions without granting security permissions.

Two types of overrides are available:

Password Overrides

Enables an employee to temporarily access a function for which he has no security permissions by entering a password. Each time the employee attempts to access the function, he must enter the password.
Login Overrides
Enables an employee to temporarily access a function for which he has no security permissions by having another employee with the appropriate security permissions enter his own login and password information. Each time the employee attempts to access the function, he must have another employee with the appropriate security permissions enter a login override.
- When you use a login override, the employee whose login and password information is used is charged as the user of record for some functions.

To set up overrides:

Select Functions > Maintenance/Setup > Security from the menu bar.
Select Overrides.
Select a category from the Category list. A list of functions is displayed in the right pane.
Select the option in the Override column next to the function for which you are setting up an override.
Select an override type from the drop-down list in the Override Type column.
If you selected Password as the override type, type a password in the Password column.
Repeat this procedure to set overrides for additional functions or categories.
Click OK to save your changes and close the Security window.
