Overview

Users represent individuals who use the system. Various privileges can be assigned to users to grant them the ability to read and alter data and system behaviour.

There are two basic user levels: administrators (), and other users (). Administrators have access to all system functionality. Other users have various privileges based upon configuration.

Editing users

To add a new user, click the icon. The user will not actually be added until it is successfully saved. To edit an existing user, click the user's name in the "Users" list.

Passwords are not retrievable once they have been saved; they can only be reset by specifying a new password.

Users cannot be delete due to references to other system objects that the user may have. A disabled user is not allowed to log in.

To test a user's email address, click the icon. This will cause an email to be sent to the specified email address.

User privileges

The Administrator checkbox determines if this user is an administrator.

If the user is not an administrator, all data sources for the customer will be listed. Checking the box next to the data source name indicates that the user can alter the data source settings, as well as access all data produced by that data source.

If the data source is not checked, a list of all points within the data source will be displayed. Each point can be individually set for no access, read access, or—if the point is settable—write access. (Having write access implies have read access.)
