Create User Accounts without Security level 10?

[Traders]

I am running Lookout 5.0 and am looking for a way that a manager can add user accounts to his system without having a level 10 security

Hi,

You can create and customize User Accounts in Lookout by navigating to Options>>User Manager... From this interface, you can create new user accounts and specify the security level that you would like for that user.

Hopefully this helps. Have a great day.

Thanks. I believe that in order to navigate to Options>>User Manager, you must have already logged into a level 10 security level. I'm wondering if there is a way to create User Accounts without being in level 10 security. My problem is that I don't want to give level 10 security to managers who should be able to create User Accounts -- but should not have access to other level 10 areas -- like changing the Administrator account password, or changing the registration key.

I understand the question now. Unfortunately there is no way to do this. Level 10 security is the only level that has access to administrative privileges (adding/changing user accounts, changing passwords, manipulating other settings). The purpose is so that this level is the only one that can make crucial changes to the system.

Good luck!

It would be good if NI was to divide this up a bit. Have a security level for User Accounts, and a higher security level for other administrative access. Thanks for your time.

I will pass this suggestion on to the developers and they will evaluate it for a future release. Thank you for the feedback! Have a good day.
