GX:Studio User Setup

Whistle Studio GX Uses the same security model as your current ERP / Whistle system does. Users are setup in ERP and then a sets of warehouse level privileges called security templates are assigned through the User Configuration Tool.

An administrator is only allowed to assign privileges that are enabled in the current warehouse. To enable privileges in a warehouse, the administrator can use the Setup Warehouse Security Permissions tool. Once the privileges are enabled in a warehouse, the administrator can build templates out of them and assign them to users with the User Configuration Tool.

The User Security Templates tool can be used to tailor the templates, both for creating new templates from the ground up or creating a default studio user templates. Each screen in Studio has its own distinct security privilege associated with it so that it can be easily be enabled or disabled.

• Initial SQL setup script - Initial access to the Studio administration screens is accomplished by the one-time step of running an SQL script provided by Coolearth.

1. Enable Studio Privileges by Warehouse - The first thing you will want to do is enable Studio privileges within your warhouse(s) you will be using the application in. Once privilege has been enabled in a warehouse, you can build a template in that warehouse that contains that privilege.

2. Create Build Studio User Templates by Warehouse - Next, create templates for Studio to assign to your users.  The Studio: User Security Templates screen has a button for both easily creating a default Studio user template and a default Studio admin template.  Template creation is done a per warehouse basis, meaning that if you create a template in warehouse X you must first copy it to warehouse Y (through the use of the tool) before it is available for use in warehouse Y.
   
3. Assign Security Templates to Users -  Now that the templates are have been created, launch the
