A basic requirement of the program is that each user must have their own "account".  The account places the user within a group, which provides configuration and setting information.  The account is also used to provide a repository to load and store templates, settings, reports, etc.  A user may only be logged in one at a time.  If a user attempts to log in to the system while an existing session is still active for them, they will be denied access unless they choose to terminate the existing session.

 

In order to identify a user and match them up with their account, a login is required.  Since different agencies have different security and system configuration needs, Crash Magic supports several login methods.
