Application users are people who work for your organization and will be using Mifos X to track all the information about your organization's operations. For example, an accountant working at a branch needs a user account in this application to track all the accounting related tasks and information. Similarly, a branch manager needs a user account to manage his/her client's portfolios.
In this section, you will learn how to add, delete or modify your organization’s users. These are people with system access working at the offices within your organization. They are subject to different restrictions based on the roles assigned to them (by the system administrator).
Before setting up usernames, the organization should give thought to the standard that will be used throughout the organization. This may be first.lastname; it may be a numerical identifier such as 101lastname (indicating the main office) or 201lastname indicating a branch office. Whatever the method adopted by your organization, it should be consistently used when creating users.
From the main screen, click on Admin then select Users from the drop down list.
