To open the workbench, users must have appropriate permissions. Permissions are granted using roles and groups. LYNQ provides a workers role which is assigned by default, to the different workers groups, in the hierarchy. The workers role allows access to only the workbench and documents, and is best suited for users on the shop floor that do not require full access to LYNQ.

To assign the workers group to an existing user:

Select Home
Select Seat Maintenance
Filter the seats by User
Select the User
Select Edit
Select the relevant workers group in the Group Ownership Tab
Select Save

To configure a new user:

Select Home
Select Seat Maintenance
Select New
Select New User
Enter the Windows Login Name
Select Find
Select Save
Select the relevant group in the Group Ownership Tab and Save

In environments where multiple terminals are configured, it is often a requirement to filter terminals that are not appropriate to specific users. By default a user will see a list of all active terminals unless terminal access has been restricted.

To restrict access to terminals by user:

Select Settings
Select Advanced Settings
Enter the Windows Login Account Name
Select Find
Select the relevant terminals for the user (i.e. Advanced)
Select Save

When the user selects the terminal option from the Workbench logon screen, the terminal list is filter.
