Introduction

Regarding the ERP & CRM software there need to be a group of people or an individual, who manages the access and directs the entire software as per the organisational need. The people who are the one to manage the access are called “User”. The users play a very vital role in the management of data in the ERP & CRM software, as they decides the limitation of access and permission for other users or members of the organisation. Hence, it can be stated that the user module is the most important and a mandatory part of the ERP & CRM systems. Tactic has followed that path as well and enhanced the user module with advanced efficiency for increasing positive impact on the customers. User module is considered to be the most important module to exist in Tactic. This module cannot be disabled as it defines the primary working structure of Tactic.
