Description

Actions with the connector:

Points of attention:

• You create the user based on the employee code.
• If you create a user and you want to give the user rights to OutSite, you must also specify the e-mail address.
• If you are using Windows authentication, the maximum length of user names 20 is positions.

  In AFAS Online, the user name consists of a participant number and a user code, for example 12345.BKR. The participant number also counts toward the maximum length.
