Convert Users to a Different Type

To convert dynamic users into static users with signon privileges

1. Set the following fields to Y in the System Options Table (SMRT):
   • Allow Dynamic Users
   • Save Dynamic Users
   • Optional Parameter 18
2. Have users at your site sign on to the product at their convenience. The users will be assigned user characteristics as if they were dynamic users and these values will become their characteristics as static users. As soon as they sign on, they become static users with signon privileges.

A user administrator can also use the Static User field in User Options to determine whether a user is static or dynamic. This applies only to saved dynamic users.

Important! Remember to set Optional Parameter 18 to N after your users have become static to prevent spurious user IDs from being stored in your administration file.
