# Activate or Deactivate FPSA

## Activating FPSA

To activate FPSA:

1. Decide which permission categories you want to assign to existing users.

2. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, and then (P) Passwords/Security.

3. Select (F) Activate FPSA and then Enter Y to activate. The system initializes FPSA parameters for current users and requests that you assign permission categories.

4. Assign permission categories to each user and press Enter to continue. When all users are configured, the system displays "FPSA activated. It will take effect the next time users log in."

5. Exit out of the menus until you have logged out of the system.

6. Log back in as "root", and return to the Passwords/Security menu. Note that the (F) menu option now reads "Deactivate FPSA".

7. Select (A) Add User. Enter a User ID, real name (first and last, for example, John Smith).

8. When prompted for permission categories, enter up to five categories (2 - 6) each separated by a comma. You must enter all required categories, not just the category that you are adding or deleting. For example, to add category 6 to categories 4 and 5, enter 4,5,6.)

9. The system assigns a temporary password for the new user. (For example, "Temporary password for user jsmith is prd@79. It will expire in 30 days.") Note this password and give it to the user.

10. Add more users as required, and then exit when finished.

## Deactivating FPSA

To deactivate FPSA:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance and then (P) Passwords and Security.

2. Select (F) Deactivate FPSA and then enter Y to deactivate FPSA (or N to abort deactivation).

3. The server confirms deactivation. Exit and log out.

4. To confirm, log back in and check the Passwords/Security menu. The (F) option should now read Activate FPSA".

Note: FPSA is deactivated on a system-wide basis. When you deactivate FPSA, all FPSA user accounts are restricted to accessing Password Change only and all passwords are set to expire. Users can no longer access the Mailbox Maintenance and Report Generation menus. If you decide to reactivate FPSA at a later date, you will need to define all user permissions as described above.
