MonicoView II supports the ability to create any number of users, each of whom will have a username, a
real name and a password. The username is a case-insensitive string with no embedded spaces that is used
to identify the user when logging on, while the real name is typically a longer string that is used within log
files to record the human-readable identity of the user making a change. Note that you are free to use
these fields in other ways if it suits your application: You may, for example, create users that represent
groups of individuals or perhaps roles, such as Operators, Supervisors and Managers. You may also decide
to use the real name to hold an item such as a clock number to tie user identities into your MRP system.
Users are created and otherwise manipulated via the usual methods in the Navigation List:
The Real Name property is used to record the user's identity in security logs, and is also shown in
the Security Manager primitive that is used to change passwords at runtime. If maximum security
is required, the user name should not be easily derived from the real name.
The Password property specifies an initial password for this user. The password is case-sensitive
and comprises alphanumeric characters. Note that if the Override Existing box is checked, any
changes made to this password from the target device will be overridden when this database is
downloaded.
The System Rights properties are used to grant a user the ability to perform certain system actions.
The properties relating to password changes are self-explanatory, while the user of Maintenance
Mode is described above.
The Custom Rights properties are used to grant a user certain rights which may then be used
within the database to allow access to groups of tags or display pages. The exact usage of these
rights is up to the system designer.
