Video on how to create users in Ongoing WMS

Introduction

To be able to log in to Ongoing WMS, you need a user account. In this article we describe how the administrator of the system can create and maintain the user accounts. We have also created a separate page dedicated to ensuring secure access, with for example multi-factor authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-on for the users in your instance of Ongoing WMS.

Permission levels

Each user has a permission level, which corresponds to the role the user has:

Permission level name (English)	Permission level name (Swedish)	Description
Administrator	Administratör	Highest level of access. They have access to all parts of the system and may change all settings.
Warehouse user	Lagerarbetare	Intended for people who work at the warehouse, but who doesn't need full administrator access. They can receive goods, make outbound deliveries, and so on.
Customer	Kund	Intended for customers of the warehouse. Able to create new orders and view the state of current orders and the stock balances. They are not able to affect the stock balances nor change settings.
API user	Godsägar-API	This type of user has access to Ongoing WMS' Goods owner API. Note that this user is not maintained in Administration ⇒ Users, but rather in Administration ⇒ API for goods owners. Read more in our article API access.
Automation API user	Automations-API	This type user has access to Ongoing WMS' Automation API. Note that this user is not maintained in Administration ⇒ Users, but rather in Administration ⇒ API for automation. Read more in our article API access.
Reseller	Återförsäljare	Similar to a Customer user but is very restricted in what it is allowed to do. This type of user may only create orders which are to be delivered to himself and view his own orders. Intended for use in situations where a warehouse customer wants to delegate the responsibility for placing orders to other people (i.e., resellers). Note that a reseller user can only have access to a single goods owner.
Supplier	Leverantör	Similar to a Customer user but is very restricted in what it is allowed to do. This type of user may only create purchase orders.
Dashboard	Dashboard	A special kind of user only used when you want to permanently display a dashboard on a screen in your warehouse.

Menus

Apart from the permission level, each user also has a certain menu. The menu determines which pages a user is allowed to see. Below is a list of all standard menus. If you want to know which pages are available in each standard menu, click here. It is possible to create new, custom menus as well.

Menu name (English)	Menu name (Swedish)	Applicable for permission level	Description
Administrator	Administratör	Administrator	The only menu available for administrators. Gives full access to the system.
Warehouse user	Lagerarbetare	Warehouse user	The only menu available for warehouse users. Gives access to the functions which a warehouse worker needs in his day-to-day job.
Customer	Kund	Customer	The default menu for customers. Allows them to create and view orders, check stock balances and handle the article registry.
Order handling, statistics and purchase order	Kund (utökad)	Customer	Similar to the above Customer menu, but also allows customers to create and view purchase orders.
Reseller	Återförsäljare	Reseller	Only gives access to view orders, create new orders and view which articles can be ordered.
Supplier	Leverantör	Supplier	Only gives access to create and view purchase orders.

Creating a new user

If you are an administrator and wish to create a new user, go to Administration ⇒ Users:

Drop down menu to create a new user. Hover over settings tab and then click on users.

Then fill in the form. Below is an example of how you would create a new warehouse user called Johnny, who has access to the goods owners "ABC Computers" and "E-commerce".

Form to create new warehouse user in Ongoing WMS.

The following fields are available:

Field name	Mandatory	Description
Username	Yes	The username.
Password	Yes	The password. If you click on "Generate", the system will automatically choose a password.
Permission level	Yes	The user's permission level, as discussed above.
Menu	Yes	The user's menu, as discussed above.
Default goods owner	Yes	Which goods owner is automatically chosen when the user logs in.
Language	Yes	Which language the user wants to view the system in.
Email	No	The user's email address.
Telephone	No	The user's telephone number.
Is read only	No	If a user is read-only, he will not be able to create new orders or purchase orders.
Send user credentials to username	No	If you have checked this box and then press Create or Update, then the system will automatically mail the user's username, password, and a link to the system's login page to the user's email address.
Goods owner box	Yes	Here you must select which goods owners the user should have access to. If you select "All goods owners", then the user will have access to all goods owners.
IP filter	No	Allows you to select which IP range the user is allowed to log in from. For instance, you might wish to make sure that when administrators and warehouse workers log in, they are coming from your own network. Learn to activate here.
Warehouses box	No	Allows you to select which warehouses the user has access to. Only applicable if your system has more than one warehouse. If a warehouse worker doesn't have access to a particular warehouse, he will be unable to move goods to that warehouse.

Editing and deleting users

After a user has been created, you may wish to change some of its information (such as the password or email address), or even remove the user entirely. If you go to Administration ⇒ Users, the user should appear in the table at the bottom of the list:

List of users with newly created user in WMS on top of list.

To edit a user, click on the Edit icon to the right:

You can now change all the info on the user, like described above in Creating a new user. Finish by pressing Update or Delete:

Buttons to update user in WMS, create (disabled), update, delete or clear fields when editing an existing user.

Available pages in each menu

As described above, each user has a certain menu. The menu gives the user access to a selection of pages in the system.

Below is a list of all pages in the system, and which standard menus have access to each page. Note that there may be slight differences in your system if you have asked Ongoing for customizations to the menus.
