Go to the User Setup window in the Classic client to define, on a per-user basis, periods of time during which the user is able to post, and whether Microsoft Dynamics NAV records the amount of time the user is logged on. You can also assign responsibility centers to the user.

To open the User Setup window, click Administration, Application Setup, Users, User Setup.

To set up a user, click to select an existing user, or click on a blank line and enter the ID of an existing Windows user or group in the User ID column.

NoteNote

You can set up users only when an application is present in the database.
