User Management

User Management is an important part in OTM Setup. 


Below are the list of setup's required as part of User Management. 
1. VPD Contexts
2. VPD Profile
3. User Role
4. User Preferences
5. User Menu
6. Creating Users
7. Assigning Preferences & Menus to users. 


VPD stands for Virtual private database. These are used to restrict the user access to a particular section of the actual database. Many VPD contexts and profiles can be created based on the business requirement. 
For Eg: A Logistics Manager should be able to view all orders where as a merchandiser should be able to see only orders with Destination Country 'USA'. 


User role can be created by linking the VPD Context and Profile to it. 


User Preferences can be created an linked to a individual user or a user role. Preferences usually contain the options like Business Monitor, Date format, language, etc.,


User Menu's can be created by the admin and assign to a user based on the requirement. 


We'll look into each module separately in subsequent posts.
