Overview

When accessing TIM Plus you are required to enter a username and password in the web browser, which form a login credential known as Web user. The login account for each user can be restricted to a specific site or user group, allowing you to have full control over their Directory privileges.

There is no limit on the amount of web users that you can create within the system.

Restricting a web user's access to the Directory

TIM Plus allows you to restrict a web user's access to specific parts of the Directory. To do so, select from the drop-down list the site and/or the group you want the user to be allowed to access. If this is left at the default setting, the web user will be allowed to access all areas of the Directory.
