 This section will describe the procedure for creating users and assigning rights in CATS.
 Each menu option in CATS can be assigned a right that users must possess to access that menu feature.
-<note warning>Users **''PB''** and **''SU''** should never be deleted from the system. These user IDs are used to maintain CATS. Rights for these users should encompass all possible rights for the system.</note>

+Options for users are:
+  * **Guest User** - You can also elect to have this user be a **''Guest''** user, which means the user can view the system but not edit or add anything. This is useful for providing auditors with access to the system.
+  * **Restrictive Rights** - If you choose this option, and assign a user **''C''** rights, for example, the user will only be able to see menu items with **''C''** rights. In our example from below, this means that a user would only be able to add purchase contracts. This is useful for creating a user to perform a single function or with access to a single area.
 A summary screen will appear. From here you can edit or delete this user ID. To change the user's password, pick **Password** from the menu. This feature is useful for resetting forgotten passwords.
