Display Of User PIN Field Policy

The Display Of User PIN Field policy is a Global Configuration policy that is read by the WorkFlows client at startup and stored as a global variable. This policy determines whether or not the system will display the PIN field and how the PIN will be displayed.

The Display Of User PIN Field policy appears on the User Information tab of the Global Configuration wizard. The default value for this policy appears in the Select a Policy window. To modify this value, select Display Of User PIN Field and click Modify. Click a radio button to select one of the policy attributes. Click Save to save your selection. The default value is Display PIN In Readable Format.

If the system is configured to use passwords, this policy and the Use PINs policy will not appear.

A user’s access level will also affect whether or not the user can view passwords or PINs. The user’s access level is compared to the record’s access level. If the user’s access level is not at least one level above the record’s access level, the login PIN or password on the Privilege tab cannot be seen or modified. Even if the global policies governing the display of PINs and passwords are set for the user to view them, the PINs and passwords will not appear if the user access level is not high enough to view or modify them. The exception is the System Administrator level, since one user with System Administrator privileges can modify the record of another user with System Administrator privileges.

Click this radio button to display the PIN field, but PINs will appear as asterisks (*).
