Resolution

To delete a Sage 100 User Logon from User Maintenance:

  1. Make sure that Sage 100 user is not currently logged in.
  2. Log into Sage 100 as another User with Role access. Or, as the Administrator to access Administrative Tools.
  3. If logging in as another user, open Library Master, Main menu, User Maintenance. Or, if logged in as the Administrator, select User Maintenance.
  4. For User Logon, enter, or select from User List lookup, the Sage 100 Logon to be deleted.
  5. Click Delete
  6. Select "Yes" when prompted with the message "Do you want to delete user ?"

What happens when a Sage 100 User Logon is deleted? It becomes Inactive.

  • The Sage 100 User Logon record is removed from the SY_User.m4t system data table.
  • The Sage 100 User Logon record is still kept in the SY_UserHistory.m4t system data table, though the Active$ field for that record is changed from "Y" to "N". The record remains for historical purposes, or in case the User Logon needs to be reactivated.
  • The User Report (from Library Master, Reports menu) will no longer display that user unless the "Include Inactive Users" check box is selected (checked). If that check box is selected, then the deleted Sage 100 User Logon will display on the User Report as Inactive.
