Editing and Selecting User Management Dialogs

In the user management dialogs, you define the login, logout, changing of the user password, and editing of the user management in the visualization at runtime.

Attention

If you create your own dialog as a user management dialog, then you should use the visualizations from the included library project VisuUserMgmtDialogs.library as the basis, because it uses the required interfaces. Your own user management dialog is listed then in Visualization manager ‣ Settings, Settings for user management dialogs.
