Change user information

Article • 5/7/2025 • 3 min read

You can change a user’s settings, including the user’s password, at any time.

To change user information

  1. Select the user.

  2. Make the necessary changes:

    • In the Initials field, type the new information to change the initials.

      You can avoid retyping the user name and password on each sign in. Select the Allow Auto Login check box in the System Setup (CSSYS) page. The USER= and PASSWORD= entries from the M2MWin.ini file are used for sign in.
      If the Allow Auto Login check box is selected and if your Domain user ID is mapped to your M2M user ID, you can automatically sign in without specifying the USER= and PASSWORD= entries in the M2MWin.ini file. For example, if your Domain user ID is jsmith, you can type this in the Windows User field, and map it to an M2M user ID, say USER1. You are then automatically signed in as USER1 using your Windows credentials.

      The Initials field is case-sensitive.

      If you select the Enforce Password Policy check box in the System Setup (CSSYS) page, while changing the password, ensure that it does not match the previous three passwords set for the user.

      TheNew Password field indicates the password’s strength. A weak password is underlined in red. A medium-strength password is underlined in orange, and a strong password is underlined in green.

      Ensure that you specify unique initials for the user.

    • The Status button shows Active by default. Click the Status button, and select Inactive to mark the user as an inactive user. Select Active to make an inactive user active.

      You cannot make the current user inactive.

      You cannot make a user inactive if active transactions exist in any of the following pages:

    • Salesperson (SLPN): If a sales manager is defined.
    • Master ECO Summary (ECOMAST): If other than cancelled / completed data exists.
    • Approval Maintenance List (ECOAPP): If the user name exists in the ECO approval list.
    • Activity Report (BAACTV) : If any incomplete activity exists for the user.
    • AP Payment EFT (APEFT): If any non-voided EFT data exists.
    • Notifier™ Overview (NOVW): If any unfired records exist.
    • Events & Actions (EANOTI): If an entry is available in the page or in recipients for the user.
    • Command Scheduler (CMDS): If any command is defined for execution by the user.

    • Inactive users cannot sign in to Made2Manage.
    • You cannot enable the Always Running Option for inactive users in the M2M Processor Service Configuration (PROC) page.
    • Inactive users are not listed in the User Permission Wizard (PERMWIZ) page.

    • In the User Type list, select the new user type.

    • In the Message Duration (Sec) or Inactivity Timeout (Min) fields, type or select values to change message duration or inactivity timeout.

  3. On the Toolbar, click Save to save your changes.
