Giving User Access

Once you have created your required Forms, Reports and Procedures you will need to give users access to them.

To do this you need to do 2 things

1. Create an Access Level.
2. Add a User.

Creating an Access Level

Home

Choose the Form for this Access Level.

When you log in as a developer the first thing you see is the Home Page.

Each Access Level requires a Home Page, which will be its starting point for Users with this Access Level.

This Home Page should be a Launch Form.

The code for the default User Home Page is nuuserhome (the same as User Home on the Setup Tab).

Creating Password Policies

Rules for enforcing Password policies can be created by making a Procedure with a Code of nuCheckPasswordPolicy

If a Procedure exists with this Code, it will be used to validate any Password Changes.

Setting a variable called $check to true will allow the changes to be saved.

Here is an Example Procedure...

  function nuCheckPasswordPolicy() {
  
     $oldpw    = '#old_password#';
     $newpw    = '#new_password#';
      
     $passwordErr = "";
   
     if ($newpw === $oldpw) {
         $passwordErr .= "The provided New Password cannot be the same as the Current Password!
";
     }    
     if (strlen($newpw) < 8) {
         $passwordErr .= "Your Password must contain at least 8 Characters!
";
     }
    if (!preg_match("#[0-9]+#",$newpw)) {
        $passwordErr .= "Your Password must contain at least 1 Number!
";
    }
    if (!preg_match("#[A-Z]+#",$newpw)) {
        $passwordErr .= "Your Password must contain at least 1 Capital Letter!
";
    }
    if(!preg_match("#[a-z]+#",$newpw)) {
        $passwordErr .= "Your Password must contain at least 1 Lowercase Letter!
";
    }
    if(!preg_match('/[\'\/~`\!@#\$%\^&\*\(\)_\-\+=\{\}\[\]\|;:"\<\>,\.\?\\\]/', $newpw)) {
        $passwordErr .= "Your Password must contain at least 1 Special Character!
";
    }    
  
    if (strlen($passwordErr) > 0) {
       nuDisplayError ($passwordErr) ;
       return false;
   } else
   {
       return true;
   }
  }
  
  $check = nuCheckPasswordPolicy();
