Managing Global Users and Groups

If your copy of Working Papers is connected to a data store, you can create Global users and groups. These users and groups can then be used on all of your Working Papers engagements without having to import them into each file individually, as you do with local users and groups.

Prerequisites

Working Papers must be connected to a data store. For instructions on creating a data store and connecting Working Papers to it, see the Data Store help.

Enabling global protection

Procedure

1. With a data store connected, open Working Papers and select Protection Setup from the File menu.



2. Enter your user name and password.

Note: If this is the first time you have turned protection on, your User Name and Password are both "sup".

Results

The Global Users and Groups dialog opens.

Adding global users and groups

If your firm already has an Active Directory connected to your data store, you can import its user and group list into Working Papers. For more information, click here.

Otherwise, you can add users and groups individually, or import them from an existing Working Papers file.

Note: You can only access Global Protection settings when you do not have a Working Papers engagement open.

Removing a user or group from the current client file

Procedure

1. On the Tools tab, in the Users group, select Protection | Protection Setup.
2. Under Users, select the user to want to remove from the current client file.

Note: Users that are assigned to groups appear as . You will need to remove them from any groups that are active in this file to complete this procedure.

3. Click Delete.
4. When prompted by Working Papers if you want to remove the user from all groups, click Yes.

Results

The user no longer has access to the current client file. When attempting to log into this client file, Working Papers informs them that they are no longer in this task.
