Administration

An administrative program, ValVue 2 Administration, is installed along with ValVue. After

successful installation, the ValVue system administrator should change the default login and

password using the administrative program. There are two default login names installed and

they are both case sensitive (Table 1).

Store the ValVue setup CD-ROM in a secure location to provide system security.

ValVue System Administration, Passwords, and Privilege Levels

In a system having many users with various levels of training and responsibility it is

recommended to restrict certain user’s access to a limited range of functions. Starting the

ValVue program requires a valid account with a user name and a password for each user. The

privilege level associated with a ValVue account determines which functions of the program

the user is allowed to access.

The ValVue Administration program, ValVue2Admin.exe, allows the administrator to perform

all user account administrative functions, run ValVue and control access to the functionality of

HART positioner. AMS handles security with passwords differently from ValVue. See the AMS

documentation.

The administrative functions include:

 Adding new user accounts

 Deleting existing user accounts

 Changing existing user accounts

 Adjusting privilege levels
