Sage 50 P11D automatically creates the Administrator user name when you create a new database.

The Administrator user name has access to the entire software, and can assign access to other users.

You can also create more users, for anyone else who needs access to the software.

When you create your P11D database, the Administrator user doesn't have a password by default.

We recommend you set a password straight away:

1. Go to Settings then Security.
2. Select Change Personal Password, then enter a password for Administrator.
3. Select Save.

The next time you log into Sage 50 P11D as the Administrator user, you must enter the password you set.

Set up individual user names and passwords

You can create individual user names and passwords for each person who uses the software.

If you're using Sage 50 P11D Professional, more than one person can use the software at the same time.

To do this, set up a separate user name for each person who will use the software.

1. Go to Settings, then Security.
2. Select Access Rights.
3. Select Add to create the new user.
4. Complete the Add New User window as follows:
   • User - Enter the person's name
   • Password - Enter a password for this user
5. When you're finished, select Save then Close.

You've created the new user and, where required, you can now configure access rights for the new user.
