Users represent the people who use the Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition system. 

In Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition Administration you must configure users in the following order:

  All users that you create in the Enterprise must have unique names.
  
  
• Assign new users to a default organization 
  You must assign each new user a default organization, called the Home Organization.
  
  
• Assign new users to Buying Organizations 
  You can then assign them to zero, one or more Buying Organizations.
  
  
• Assign roles to the user  
  You can now assign roles to the user.

After you create a user in an Enterprise, you can then assign the user to a Buying Organization. When you assign them to an organization, you can set up spending limit approval rules:

   If the user exists and is not already assigned to this organization, their name appears in the Results list.
   
   
4. Select the user's name to add this user to the Buying Organization.
   
   
5. Click Select.
   
   After you select the user, a new page appears in the right-hand frame of the browser window. You provide additional information for the user in this frame.
   
   
6. Enter the following user information:
   
   Spending Limit
   Default Bill To Address
   Default Ship To Address
   Default Cost Center
   Spending Limit Approver - Who can approve this user's Shopping Carts which exceed a certain amount
   Approval Limit - Dollar limit the user can approve for a Shopping Cart
   
   
7. Click [Save].
