Using the Systemwalker User Management function improves security and usability because it eliminates the need for users who use multiple Systemwalker products to remember multiple IDs and passwords.
Administrators can also enjoy better usability because user information is consolidated in a single location, and so if user information needs to be changed then the changes only need to be made in a single location.
