Movicon.NExT Help on Line - Rel. 4.2.358
The User Groups are essential to the project's Users management. Users cannot be inserted individually unless they become members of a group first.
The Movicon.NExT User Management offers these types of default groups: Admin, Guest, Power User. These groups can be modified, removed and new ones can be added. When a "Group" is selected within the workspace, its property window can be opened to define the following settings:
This is used to set the Group's name. The group must have its own unique name within the list of groups and it must not be more than 64 characters long.
Auto Logoff Time (sec)
This property is used to insert an inactive time in seconds that once expired will automatically logoff the Anonymous logged in user.
Setting this property to the value 0 (zero) will disactivate the Auto Logoff time.
|
Attention! Setting this property other than 0, will give it priority over the property with the same name in the previously described general "Auto Logoff Time" settings. |
This property is used to set the Group's hierarchical access level. This level will be used by those users who have not been set with an access level or who are authenticated by the operating system's domain.
The hierarchical level can be set a value from 0 to 9999. The value set here will determine the user's access rights. The higher the value the more access rights the user will have. For example, a user with level 10 will be able to activate controls requiring a level equal to or lower than this value (comprised between 1 and 10).
The Level -1 cannot be used for Groups, but can be used by the users to inherit the Group's level.
Password History
This represents the number of previously used passwords to be stored. The passwords listed cannot be reused. This property can be disabled by setting it to zero.
Default Access Area (Advanced)
This property is used to define the access area using a bit mask for the Group. This mask will be inherited by those users who have not been set with one or who are authenticated by the operating system's domain.
Each bit corresponds to an access area within which the user is permitted to interact with those controls that require an Access Area in addition to an Access Level. For example, When a control has been set with an Access Level and enabled with the Access Area 1, users who login with an Access level equal or higher than that of the control's but who do not have an Access Mask will not be able to use the control.
The Access Areas start from 1 to 31 and you can select all of them or only the ones you desire from the window that opens when clicking on the (...) on the far right. All Access Areas are enabled for default.
This property is used to define the language to be associated to the Group which will be automatically activated, if included in the project's Text Table resource, to convert all the project texts and strings to that language.
Users who log in without a culture name will automatically be associated the one set for the Group they belong to.
When no language is defined in this property, no text language change will take place.
Predefined Convertor (Advanced)
This property is used to define the Unit Convertor associated to the Group. This Unit Convertor will be inherited by the Users belonging to the Group who have not been associated with their own Unit Convertor and which will activate when the User logs in.
