Caterpillar: Confidential Green

 Purpose
This document is intended for dealer technical coordinators and covers the procedure for granting
employees access to generate passwords using the Feature Protection System.

Security –> Users

Please note: If you are not a coordinator the Security menu option will not be available.

The Users screen will display all the users related to the coordinator currently logged into the system.

Once the list of users has been populated, the user can narrow their search by typing specific
information in the text boxes above each column, then clicking the Filter button or hitting the Enter key.
To reset the search criteria, click the Clear button.

Clicking on the View link will display specific information about the user selected.

 The coordinator can view all access authorization for this user and change the user’s access. This can be
accomplished by either clicking on the remove link next to an access authorization or by clicking on
Change Access to be advanced to the User Authorization screen.

Clicking on View All Users will return the user to the list of all users.

Security -> Give User Access

Using Give User Access allows the coordinator to grant a new user access authorization.

In Step 1, click on the CWS ID text box, enter the CWS ID of the user to grant authorization to and click
the Next button to continue. The “find” link next to the text box can be used to search for a CWS ID by
employee name.

 Note: If the person logged in is not a coordinator of this user, he/she does not have authorization to
make changes to this user. A message will display this information.

If the person logged in does have authorization, the User Authorization screen will display the user’s
information. Use the checkboxes to either check or uncheck the options:

also become unselected. One cannot be a Coordinator without also being an authorized user of the
role.
