User Accounts / Passwords

In the second menu tab the user accounts are defined. The tab shows in a table the names of
the existing user accounts (see figure below). The password of a user account can be changed by
selecting the lock symbol at the left side of the table and by selecting the trash can symbol the user
account can be deleted. Be careful, there is no security query when deleting a user account and a
once deleted user account could not be restored.
On the right side of the table are the assigments of the user roles. One or several roles can be
assigned to an user account. The user role can be assigned or withdrawn by selecting the corre-
sponding checkbox at the user account. The specific permissions assigned to a user role are defined
in the menu tab "User Roles" described in the next chapter.
Figure 17: Menu tab user accounts
At the end of the table of existing user accounts there is an empty field for adding a new user. A
new user account is created by typing a user name and pressing <ENTER>. Then a dialog appears
to set the initial password of the new user account (as shown in the next figure). By confirming the
dialog with "Ok" the user account is created. For information about rules that must be consider when
choosing a user name or password see chapter about the password policies.
When changing a user password the same dialog appears as when setting the initial password.
In the dialog the affected user name is displayed and 2 text fields to type the new password. The
password must be typed two times to eliminate, unintentional typing errors. The new password is
accepted only if both text fields contain the same password.
