Batch Administration
System Users
This user access is managed via the Security tab:
A drop-down option for Users opens the Dashboard application where security aspects pertaining to rules, users, groups, and properties may be managed by the administrator(s). For example, this is the area where a system administrator can create a user or delete a user.
See the Dashboard Security documentation for Users.
Define a Blackout
Blackouts are assigned times when batch jobs are not allowed to run. The system administrator determines when batch audits are not allowed to run to protect system resources. Under the Options menu, the person(s) with Administrator access will be able to access the Blackouts screen and set blackout times that are imposed on all batch runs.
