Background: User Categories Maintenance
Use the User Category Maintenance (XUC) program to add, change, copy, and delete a user category that you can use to grant access to selected programs for a group of users. See Road Map for work flow.
Categories can classify staff by department or job function; for example, receiving. When you add a new receiving clerk and select the receiving category, s/he has access to the programs needed for the receiving job function. This can save you time because you do not have to select programs each time you enter a new user record.
You can use the range feature to speed up program selection. Click Range and then:
Enter the first and last program in a range (for example, all program names that have the same initial letter), and select it. Then click Add range.
To remove individual programs, click Sel.
To remove a range of programs, click Range, enter the first and last program that you want to remove, and click Remove range.
Select a program group to include all programs in this category (for example, accounts payable). Then click Add range. Click Sel for the program you do not want to include.
