Adding New Staff to the SAM RF System (continued) 
 
4.  Complete the Staff Form. 
 
Enter the person’s name. At the top of the form are 
fields for inputting each person’s last, first and middle 
name/initial (optional).  
Enter information about his/her position. In the 
Position field, type in a word or two that identifies this 
person’s position or responsibility at your site, such as 
Manager or Maintenance. 
Enter the System Authorization Information. Create a 
user name and password for this person.  
 
 
 
 
Note: A user name cannot be more than 15 characters and a password cannot be more than 10 
characters. Keep in mind that this information will become the user ID and password that each user 
will type in when logging on to the SAM RF System. Be sure it is something they can easily 
remember. For this reason, it is recommended that you employ an easily identifiable system for 
assigning user names, such as the person’s first initial and last name. For example, John Smith’s 
user name would be “jsmith.”  
 
As the system administrator, you will have access to user name and password information in the 
future. This will be useful in cases where you need to add or remove users from the system or 
change passwords. 
 
Assign the authority level. It is highly recommended that you not give administrator privileges to 
any other users of the SAM RF System. In other words, leave the Administrator box unchecked. 
 
Below the Administrator box is a larger box that contains the names of authorization groups that you 
have set up. An authorization group is essentially a label that represents access to a specific (and 
limited) list of SAM RF System functions – such as assigning work orders or creating new keys – 
rather than allowing access to the entire system. 
 
Once you have set up authorization groups in the SAM RF System, you can go back and edit the 
authority level of certain staff members by selecting one of the authorization groups that will then 
appear in the System Authorization Information box. See Section 4.3 “Creating Authorization 
Groups.”  
5. Click Save to return to the Staff List PC dialog box. Click Add to add the next user and follow the 
process once again. When you have registered all staff members in the SAM RF System, click Close 
to return to the SAM RF System main menu screen.
