Setting up the Organization Group

Organization is the other term for the word Company which GINESYS uses.

This unified entity, to which the operating units belong, are known as Organization Group.

  • Minimum 8 characters required

  • At least 1 uppercase alphabet [A-Z] required

  • At least 1 lowercase alphabet [a-z] required

  • At least 1 digit [0-9] required

  • At least 1 Non-alphanumeric [~!@#$%^&*_-+=`|\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?] character required

Important information regarding applicability of Password configuration

  1. Both the configuration mentioned above will be applicable to Admin (Head Office) and System (store) as well.

  2. Both the configuration available above will be applicable to all types of users, i.e., Head Office (internal as well as partner users for shipment tracking) and POS users (both centrally and locally managed).



Caution:

If immediately after this patch update, you enforce password expiry (in days) option, then all users will have to change their password before logging into Ginesys HO and POS. The system will capture the last password changed information only once the user changes their password post this patch update.

We recommend you to implement this rule by considering your operations. Like sending an instruction to all the users to change the password with a deadline date, else they will be forced to change the password as soon as you enable password expiry.



The Password expiry (in days)

The Password expiry (in days) is not mandatory and can be kept blank. But once defined, it can only be a whole number between 1 and 999. This basically means that, after the number days that are specified in this field has passed the password will have to be reset.

  • If left blank, it will never expire until its explicitly changed.

  • If the password expiry is set to one (1) day then the password will have to be reset everyday

    If suppose a user changes the password on 13th November, 2017, then he will be allowed to login until 14th November, 2017. When he tries to login, on 15th November, he will be asked to change the password.



  • If this number happens to be two(2), then the password will mandatorily have to be re-set after every two days; including the date when the first password is set.
