New User Access, New E10 Functionality
Managing the Epicor functionality available to the user community is one key role of an Epicor Administrator. In this light, it’s not uncommon for customers using the Epicor application to continue to add new modules. An understanding of Epicor 10’s functionality develops over time, as administrators and users learn the full capabilities of E10 and how ERP can help run a business. Once new E10 modules are licensed, and once the license is installed, users will need to have an administrator enable access through the Epicor Admin Console in order to allow users to make use of this new Epicor functionality.
Let’s walk through the steps you need to know to effectively manage newly installed Epicor modules.

- Open up the E10 instance node and click on the “Licensing” node beneath it—this will display the license file in the panel to the right of the tree view.
- Double-click the license file. This will raise a little properties window.
- Navigate to the “Modules” tab. Sort by module name and locate the module you wish to enable. Check the “Enabled” box to enable the module in question.
- Click the “OK” button to commit the change:
Once that is accomplished, a user who has just logged into the Epicor application should see the new module available in the menu:
