User security is incorporated into the HuntSmart big game hunting software which gives each system user the ability to grant the rights of read, edit, and/or delete to other system users with no rights granted to others by default. The only exception to all other system users having rights to information that they did not create without having rights assigned to them is information that was created by the default system user. The default system user is enabled by default when HuntSmart is installed because security is turned off.

Enable/Disable Security
In order to turn on security, you can click on the main menu item “Admin” then “Application Setup” then “Enabled Security” as shown in Figure 1. In order to turn off security, you can click on the main menu item “Admin” then “Application Setup” then “Disable Security” which will re-enable the default system user.

(Figure 1)

Setup User Accounts
Once you have enabled security, system user accounts will need to be setup in order to login. This can be done by clicking on the main menu item “Admin” then “System Users” as shown in Figure 2 which will load the “System Users” item into the working area as shown in Figure 3.

If you close the software without setting up additional user accounts, you must sign into the software using the administrator account. The default administrator user-ID is “ADMIN with a default password of “admin”. The administrator account as well as system user accounts with administrator privileges has full access to all system information and security. The user that is considered to be the administrator will need to change the administrator account password in order to protect security.

To setup, modify, or delete a system user account, click on the “Add” , “Edit” , or “Delete” icons as shown in Figure 3. If setting up or editing a system user account, the system user screen will be displayed as shown in Figure 4. The fields “First Name”, “Last Name”, and “User ID” must have values before saving or an error will be displayed. If the administrator field is check, the user account will also have system administrator rights. If the active field is check, the user account will be able to login to the software.

Login
Once the system user accounts are setup, users can login to the software by using their user-id and password. The login screen will be display upon starting the software as shown in Figure 5.

After logging into the software, each user will have the ability to change their password by clicking on the main menu item “Maintenance” then “Change Password”, which will display the change password screen as shown in Figure 6. The password must be a minimum of five and not more than ten alphanumeric characters.
