   Existing or old user accounts cannot be replaced by new user accounts for auditing and security purposes. When a new user is required to replace the existing one, create the new user and inactivate the existing or old one.

2. On the User tab, enter the following information:

   • User Name: Up to 128 characters.

   • Full Name: The user's full name.

   • Initials: The user's initials.

   • Select any of the following options:

     • Read-Only: Make this a Read-only user.

       Regardless of group membership, Security Admin configuration will be necessary if the user requires the ability to add/remove and make changes to other users in the Security List.

     • Inactive: Inactivate this user.

     • External Access Only: Prohibit this user from logging in. This user type does not count against your IMOS license.

   • Authentication: Select one of the following:

     • Windows Authentication: If you select this option, IMOS uses Windows login credentials for authentication, and the user does not have to log in a second time with possibly a different user name and password. If the user changes the Windows password, it is also changed here.

Creating New IMOSlive Users

To create a new IMOSlive user in the Security List, follow the steps below:

1. Send a request for a new user creation (not a new license) to Veson Nautical Support via the Help Center.
2. If the request is not for a new license, confirm if one of the existing users can be made Inactive to accommodate the new user. Otherwise, Veson Nautical will charge for an additional license. 
3. Veson Nautical creates the new user's password and user name and informs all the interested parties. The credentials are sent directly to the new user's email address as an encrypted email.
4. Create the new user in IMOS in the desired environments, Production and/or Test, following the standard new user creation guidelines.
