<br>
<br>Note: If the Employee record is edited in QuickBooks, the SME User record will get updated. For example, if the Address changes in Employee record, the SME User record will get updated on the next sync.
<br>Note: If you edit a User Record in SME, the Employee record will not get changed in QuickBooks. However, if the Employee is edited in QB the SME User record will get updated and potentially overwrite the changes made to the User record.
<br>
<br>Assign Username and Password so the user can log into SME:
<br>-- On the Details tab, enter a username and Password. Confirm the password. 
<br>-- Assign the correct user group to the user. (See the [[User Groups]] page to learn more.

<br>If the User is a Technician, setup the technician info:
<br>-- You can check Is Technician to make the SME User a technician. The Technician Settings tab will appear where you will assign their default payroll item and service item. See the [[Labor Editor Defaults]] page to see how those work. 
<br>--  If the Technician will be logging into SME Mobile, you will need to assign them a '''WebAccess Password''' on the Technician Settings tab and an '''Employee ID''' on the Details tab. Also assign the technician a default warehouse on the Technician Settings tab if applicable. See the [[Warehouses]] page to learn how to setup warehouses and assign to tech.
