User Management

Before setting up users and user groups, notice the following: The configuration of users and groups is done in the Project Settings dialog Project Settings - Users and Groups.

• Automatically there is always a group “Everyone” and by default primarily each defined user or other groups are members of this group. Thus each user account at least automatically is provided with defined default settings. Group “Everyone” cannot be deleted, just renamed, and no members can be removed from this group.
• Also automatically there is always a group “Owner” containing one user “Owner”. Users can be added to or removed from this group, but at least one user must remain. This group also cannot be deleted and always has all access rights. Thus it is not possible to make a project unusable by denying the respective rights to all groups. Both group and user “owner” might be renamed.
• When starting the programming system resp. a project, primarily no user is logged on the project. But then the user optionally might log on via a defined user account with user name and password in order to have a special set of access rights.

Note

:strong:Notice \ that each project has its own user management!

So, for example to get a special set of access rights for a library included in a project, the user must separately log on to this library. Also users and groups, set up in different projects, are not identical even if they have identical names.

Caution

:strong:The user passwords are \ stored irreversibly!

If a password gets lost, the respective user account gets unusable. If the “Owner”-password gets lost, the entire project might get unusable!
