Change a user code

You can change a user's login name.This can be necessary, for example, because the organisation has expanded and you want to use other codes, or because you want to perform a correction to a specific code.

You can also use this method if you switch to AFAS Online.

Note: 

This change is not implemented in the logging.

It is recommended that you do not change the code of a user who has added a workflow or who has a task in a workflow. If it is necessary to change a user code, it is recommended you block the old code and add a new code.

You can also change the Code with Import Users.

To change the code of a user:

  1. Go to: General / Management / Authorisation tool.
  2. Go to the tab:User maintenance.
  3. Go to: User / Change code...
  4. Select the user code.
  5. Enter the new code in to this code:. The user should from now on use this user code to log on.
