If you have just installed adTempus you will need to perform some initial configuration. You will need to be logged in to the computer under an Administrator account to perform the initial setup.
You should review the default security settings, and modify them as appropriate for your environment.
Security settings are configured using the Security Options properties.
By default only members of the Administrators group on the server By "server" we mean the computer on which the adTempus service is running are allowed to connect to adTempus (i.e., only Administrators can use adTempus). If you want other users to be able to use adTempus, make the necessary changes on the Server Security page.
By default all users are able to create jobs, and to modify and administer jobs they have created. ("All users" really means all users who are able to connect to adTempus, which, by default, is only Administrators. If you grant access to additional users, they will by default be able to create jobs.)
By default users cannot see or modify jobs created by other users.
To modify permissions for who is able to create jobs, and the default security settings for those jobs, use the Default Job Security page.
Note that Administrators are always a special case: Administrators have access to all objects in adTempus, regardless of who created them.
In addition to jobs, the following objects can be secured. You should review and, if appropriate, modify the security settings for these objects:
If you plan to use e-mail notification, you must configure the notification options.
Jobs can be configured to behave differently on holidays. If you plan to use this feature you should review the default holidays and modify the list as appropriate for your organization.
Shared Schedules allow you to use a single schedule to determine the days on which many jobs will run (each job still has its own settings for the time(s) at which it will run).
You may want to set up some initial shared schedules that are available to all users, and establish policies for their use. For example, you may want to define a "Weekdays" schedule for jobs that run Monday through Friday.
