In order to use Fincon Accounting, you need to log in using a username and password. User accounts allow Fincon Accounting to do the following:
- Restrict the functionality and accessibility that specific individuals have access to.
- Log transactions that were made, against the user that made them – based on who was logged in at the time.
Naturally, before a user account can be used, it has to be created. This guide will show you the steps required to create a user account.
We provide a default user, PASSME, in order for you to log in without a password after you have completed the Fincon Accounting installation. You can delete this user once you have created new users and given them rights to the functionality and accessibility you deem fit.
Do not delete the PASSME user before you have created new users and given them rights to your desired functionality and accessibility.
Refer to this guide on how to delete a user account.
Do not delete the PASSME user before you have created new users and given them rights to your desired functionality and accessibility.
Refer to this guide on how to delete a user account.

Assign the desired permissions to the user, using one of three possible steps:

- Click on the Enable All button if you want to assign all possible permissions to the user.
