When accessing a
GEMS database a user ID and password must be entered before accessing the
database. We have experienced problems in the past with using
non-administrative user ID's, although in theory the regional processing side of
GEMS should support non-admin users. Recently, Woodstock, Ontario was
using non-admin user IDs and subsequently could not generate ballot artwork, so
I told them to revert to administrative usage whereupon their problems
cleared.
So, should we not
permit users to access GEMS using any ID other than admin, or is there more to
know? Also, Woodstock configured the GEMS machine on their network, which
obviously simplifies the distribution of results using JResults, however, I
thought our policy was to configure GEMS machines stand-alone for security
reasons.
Regarding Florida,
all new accounts have opened fine, and:
I am waiting to hear from Wes from Columbia County. So I think we're
fine in Florida.
