User Name

Type a user name for this account. The user name should allow the person logging in to be identified.

Access Level

Choose an access level for this user:

Distributor

This access is restricted to Maitre’D Certified technicians and Resellers. All other access levels are unable to see or grant this access.

System Owner

The System Owner access level is restricted to the restaurant management. Only top-level managers should have this access, as this allows them to create and delete other users, as well perform any administrative task on the Maitre’D system.

Access Levels 2 through 8

These access levels can be fully customized. These access levels can be used for anyone requiring access to the Maitre’D back-office software.

Password

Type in a password for the new user. The password must be at least 7 characters, and comprised of a mix of letters and numbers.

Confirm Password

Confirm the password for this new user.

User must change password at next login

Enable this option to force the user to change the login password during the next login. This option should be used for every new account and afterwards if there is a doubt that an account password may have been compromised.

Changing passwords

Maitre’D will automatically force users to change their passwords every 90 days. Also, Maitre’D keeps a history of each user’s passwords so that the last 4 passwords cannot be re-used. In case a password becomes compromised or if you have any doubts to that effect, you can force any user to change their password by checking the User must change password at next login box in their account’s properties. Of course, you need to be logged in with Distributor or System Owner access in order to do this.

Locked accounts

After 5 unsuccessful login attempts, Maitre’D will automatically lock the user account. To unlock an account, someone with Distributor or System Owner access needs to login, access the user editor, select the locked account and click the Unlock button.

Locked accounts are marked with a padlock icon.
