Required Group Permissions for Connect When Using Sims

If the SIMS.NET user specified within the GroupCall Xporter Management system does not have certain group associations the MLS-Eclipse Job will not run.

The user that GroupCall uses to pull data from SIMS needs to have the following four group permissions.

  • Personnel Officer
  • School Administrator
  • Senior Management Team
  • Third Party Reporting

The GroupCall team advise that the four key user groups are requested to be assigned to a SIMS user, this user’s login details are then entered into the Xporter so that the Xporter can pull data from SIMS.

If these associations are in question, we recommend that you create a new SIMS user and assign these 4 groups to that user, have the SIMS data manager select a password and then these user credentials be entered by the SIMS data manager into Xporter. The SIMS user credentials are then stored by Xporter in an encoded ‘GCPassword.db’ file. This will then ensure that no one other than the SIMS data manager and the Xporter service will be able to make use of these credentials.
