# Set up users

Set up the users for the mobile apps that are built with Mobility studio.

For each user, define:

- The main menu that is shown if the user logs on to the mobile device. **Note**: if no menu is available yet, you must define the user menu later on.
- The login settings to log in to the mobile app on a mobile device.
- The app run time mode. Does the app run from cache or on the configuration?
- For each applicable company, the roles of the user in the company.

The roles define which processes are applicable to the user. If the user menu has processes that are not applicable to the user, these are not shown to the user on the mobile device.

### Steps

2. Click the **Users** tab.
3. Click **Add**.
4. Sub-task: Define general settings.
  1. In the **User ID** field, enter or select a value.

  2. In the **Password** field, type a value.
  3. In the **Warehouse** field, enter or select a value.
  4. In the **Warehouse** field, enter or select a value.

In the **Language** field, enter or select a value.

  7. By default, the user is enabled to use mobile apps. You can (temporarily) block a user.

Select **No** in the **Enabled** field.
  8. You can define if the transactions of the user are logged.

Transactions are logged according to the settings on the **Development** tab of the **Anywhere mobility studio parameters**.

Select **Yes** in the **Transaction logging** field.
  9. If you want to send login information to a user, an email address is required.

In the **Email address** field, type a value.
5. Sub-task: Define login settings.
  1. For security reasons, by default, the user must reset the password at the first login to a mobile app.

You can decide that this is not required.

Select **No** in the **Reset password at first login** field.
  2. You can send the password to the user by email.

Click **Send password via email**.
  3. By default, the password does not expire.

For security reasons, you can decide to let a password expire after a number of days that you can define.

Select **Yes** in the **Password expires** field.
  4. Define the number of days the password is valid after it is changed.

In the **Password valid days** field, enter a number.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**

> As a result, the password expiration date is calculated and shown in the **Expiration date** field.
  5. Define the number of days after the password change to notify the user to change it again.

In the **Notify after days** field, enter a number.
  6. based on parameter settings, the user account can be locked automatically if the maximum number of login attempts is exceeded.

You can manually lock or unlock a user account.

Select **Yes** in the **Locked** field.
6. Sub-task: Define app run time mode.

For each user account, you can define the app run time mode:

In the **Run time mode** field, select an option.
  - **Configuration**: The app runs on the real-time configuration in Anywhere Mobility Studio. This can be slow in a Tier 2 environment.
  - **Cache**: The app runs from a cached configuration. This is faster in a Tier 2 environment, but the app can be outdated.
  - **Get from parameter**: The run time mode for the user account is defined by the **Run time mode** field of the **Anywhere mobility studio parameters**. If you use this run time mode, make sure the right run time mode is defined in the parameters.
7. Sub-task: Define user roles per company.
  1. Click the **Companies** tab.
  2. Define the companies in which the user has roles.
