    o   User profiles for users who need to access the software, and their current authorities.

    o   User profiles used by any automated jobs or tasks which access the Assure iTERA software or License Manager and their current authorities. 

    o   User and system library lists, job descriptions and user profile attributes to make sure that Assure iTERA software installation libraries and LAKEVIEW libraries are not specified.
