Manage Users Page
Feature Description
Manage Users page: This page allows a user to either modify the rights for an existing
user (available from the displayed list) or use the New button to
access a secondary window where they can create a new user.
New • Clicking this button allows an authorized user to add a new user
and configure their settings through the Configure User
Properties page.
Select • Clicking this button takes you to the selection’s corresponding
Configure User Properties page.
• This button is greyed-out if the current authorized user doesn’t
have the right to modify the rights for that user.
Configure User Properties Page
Feature Description
Configure User Properties: This page allows an authorized user to configure the options for
either a pre-existing or new user. Configuration on this page
consists of both the options and directories the user is granted
access to.
Update • This button submits the modified page (form) information back
to the server.
• If the user was successfully added after pressing the Update
button; a status message of “User XYZ was successfully
added” is displayed.
• Always press the Update button after making any changes
to this page.
Back • This button returns the user to the Manage Users page.
Delete • This button is only available when modifying/deleting an
existing user.
User Security Details: • This section provides the user with several rights which can
either be enabled or disabled.
User Name • A valid character string defining the name of the user
(4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters).
• If a user is selected from the Manage Users page, this row is
populated with the name of the selected user.
• The string is case sensitive and must be unique.
Group • This drop-down list allows the user to associate a pre-defined
series of Group rights to the current user profile.
• Once the Update button is clicked, the group rights then are
transferred to the user by placing a checkmark next to those
rights which are available to the associated group.
• Any properties possessed by groups (ex: access rights,
directory associations, etc.) are inherited by users assigned to
a particular group.
• Unchecking a security option (which is available within the
associated group) does not remove that right from the
user. The only way to remove a group’s available security right
from a target user is to either NOT associate a group to a user
or to alter the security rights of the group being associated.
Terminal (RS232) Access • This selection enables or disables Terminal (RS232 Program
port) Security Access for the target user.
