Copying default settings from the Supervisor user

Because each user must have a unique SQL Login to identify them to the SQL server, there is no longer a generic Supervisor user as there was in version 19.8.

Although the migration program does not bring the Supervisor user into the new version of Sage 100 Contractor, you can copy default settings, such as grid views and reporting defaults, from the Supervisor to an individual user in version 19.8. After you migrate your data, you can select this user as the Company Administrator in version 26.1.

To copy default settings for the Supervisor user:

1. In version 19.8, log in to the Sage 100 Contractor company as the Supervisor.
2. Open the 7-3-2 User List window.
3. If the grid doesn't include a user to whom you want to copy supervisor rights, create the user, and then click the Save button.
4. Click the [Copy User Defaults] button, or click Options > Copy User Defaults.
5. In the Copy User Defaults window:
   1. On the Copy defaults from pane, select Supervisor.

   2. On the Copy to pane, select the user to whom you want to assign the default Supervisor settings.

      Tip: To copy the settings to more than one user, hold down the Control key while you make multiple selections in the Copy to pane.

   3. Click [OK].
   4. In the message box, click [Yes] to continue.
