Movicon Help on Line - Rel. 11.7.1301
The Users General Properties are used for associating each user with the main characteristics concerning the password and access levels for those users.
To edit the Users General properties, select the User from the Project Explorer window with the mouse and use the Movicon "Properties Window".
To check the General properties common to Users and User Groups please refer the paragraph on "General Properties common to Users and User Groups".
The user's name (User ID) is assigned in this edit box. The name will be the first information requested as soon as the command dealing with the password is executed in Runtime. Alphanumeric and case sensitive characters, discrimination between upper/lowercase keys, can be inserted in this field.
The user name must be unique and obligatory.
Four characters is the minimum length, imposed by Movicon for default, for the User's Name. We suggest that you do not use less characters for normatives and security reasons. |
When creating a new project with the "Create Users from Windows Users -> Server Name", option enabled, Movicon will insert the users belonging to the Operating System's domain. These Users will automatically be inserted in the relative "Administrators", "Users" and "Guests" groups if the "Create Default User Groups" option has also been enabled, otherwise they will all be inserted in one group only for default. |
This editbox is used to enter a descriptive text to the user profile.
The description of the user is used by the system upon enabling the "Enable CFR21-Part 11 Electronic Signture" property from the "Users and User Groups" resource to identify the active user by recording their description where provided in the Data Base tables, such as the Trace or Data Logger for example, according to the Electronic Signature requirements.
The description is mandatory and must be unique. |
This property is used for entering the Password relating to the User. Alphanumeric and case sensitive characters, discrimination between upper/lowercase keys, can be inserted in this field.
Password declaration is obligatory.
Six characters is the minimum length, imposed by Movicon for default, for the User's Name. We suggest that you do not use less characters for normatives and security reasons. |
This property allows you to insert a numeric Password which can be used as an alternative to the alphanumeric one.
This property is used for setting a Password level to be associated to the User. The field is set at "Get Group Level (-1)" for default, which means that the User automatically acquires the Level from the Group it belongs to. However a customized level can be selected for the User, independently of the Group it belongs to.
Movicon provides up to 1024 password levels, where the first 1022 levels are inferior type (for users), level 1023 or "Administrators" also authorize commands in the operating system, level 1024 or "Developer" is the highest and authorizes access to the project being programmed.
Level declaration is obligatory.
This property is used to define the Access Level mask to associate to the User. When creating the User, this property will automatically be set to the same value of "Default Access Level" of Group the user belongs to.
The Group's predefined Access Level will be inherited by the user of that group when both the following conditions are true:
The User has the predefined value as their Access Level (FFFF).
The Access Level predefined for the Group of which the user belongs to is other than (0000).
For further information on "Access Levels", please see the topic on "User Levels and Access Levels".
This property is used for disabling the User. This means the user will not be managed in the runtime phase.
This property locks the User out. the 'Locked' user is one who cannot be substituted with a runtime user who has the same name. This means that any runtime user with the same name will not be managed. For further information please refer to the section on "Runtime Users".
When this property is enabled the new created user will be asked to change their password when logging on for the first time. This will allow the user to change the password, inserted by the programmer, with their own.
This property is only active when the "Expiring Password (Days)" property, of the same user and the group the user belongs to, is set to zero and impedes the user's password to be renewed in runtime if the "Change password after Login" checkbox has been checked.
If the user's "Expiring Password (Days)" property is set to zero, the one set in the Group to which the user belongs to will be considered instead.
For users set with "Administrator Level (1023)" with their "Expiring Password (Days)" property set at zero, the "Change Password after Login" property will always result enabled even when the Group "Expiring Password (Days)" property that the user belongs to is set with a value different to zero. |
