Purpose
This procedure is used to enter or maintain the details of User Classifications. The user classifications should be established prior to setting up your individual users. They allow you to “group” users for reporting and electronic messaging purposes. As a example, allowing users to send a message to one or more classifications without having to specify all the users within that classification type.
Another use for user classification is when setting procedure access. You can allow or bar access of procedures for all users in a specified user classification.
Note that any one user can belong to multiple classification groups as appropriate.
