Has anyone encountered issues with assigning a login to several users where that login value is mapped to the same Unix id? Thanks.

I think you mean that you have many webusers that you're attaching to the same UNIX user.

Well this config works pretty well but you're probably going to end up having two user IDs for your super users.

Example:

HR Administrator whose name is Jane Smith might have two web user records:

jsmith --> linked to ALLEMP user on the UNIX side
HRADMINJSMITH --> linked to ADMIN user on UNIX side

this is so Jane has access to all the screens she needs and all the employee records with one of her IDs and she can also user Employee Self Service.

Furthermore, if you have an EMPLOYEE type record but you also needs a Requester or whatever else you might have to create more IDs. But it still beats having separate IDs for each employee.

Other than that (and the fact that you get practically no Audit trail on things like benefit changes and what little else Lawson gives you audits on) I don't see any issues.

From what I understand 9.0 promises to provide much better ways of doing this whole thing but I stopped holding my breath, most clients that I know who are going to 9.0 are staying on LAUA "for now".

Good luck.

Yes, I meant webusers - I was asking about users who have a unique ID field value but the same login field value on their rd30 record. Thanks for confirming.

I asked because we are getting information from GSC, "It is not recommended that you use the same login for two users who would be accessing the system at the same time."
