One advantage of Sage 50 Quantum over Premium is the ability to have more than 5 users (up to 40 actually). But the more users you have, the bigger nuisance it is when you have to get everyone out so you can perform a single user function such as changing periods, making a backup, or consolidating companies. Fortunately Quantum also comes with the ability to log out other users.<\/p>\n
From the Maintain <\/em>Menu, choose Users<\/em>, then User Login Manager<\/em>. You’ll see a list of users who are currently logged in. You can choose to log out all users or just a selected user. There is also a button for Logout Options<\/em>. Here you can choose whether users will be logged out immediately or if you want to send a message warning them to save their work because the will be logged out in X minutes. You can also choose to lock out non-admin users for a specified time period so they can’t get back in and interfere with what you are trying to do.<\/p>\n It’s important to remember that any unsaved work will be lost when those users are logged out.<\/p>\n Anyone with Administrator rights has access to this feature. You can control other user’s access to it through their security role. When editing a role (Maintain<\/em> > Users<\/em> > Set Up Security<\/em>), go to the Company<\/em> section and look for Log Out Users<\/em> under Maintenance<\/em>. You can set it to No Access<\/em> or Full Access<\/em>.<\/p>\n
