Protected mode in PG4UWMC
Administrator Mode and Operator Mode in PG4UWMC (former Protected mode)
Program PG4UWMC is set by default to Administrator Mode. It means no operation blocking
for user is applied. But in production, there is suitable to block some menu commands, to
ensure, user does not modify important program settings or configuration. Operator Mode is
used for this purpose.
More information about Operator and Administrator Mode is available in chapter Options /
Switch to Operator Mode (in PG4UWMC).
Program PG4UWMC has Protected mode very similar to program PG4UW. The difference is,
that Protected mode can be activated by menu command but cannot be activated by Project
file. Another difference is that Protected mode settings of PG4UWMC are saved to
configuration .ini file of PG4UWMC while program PG4UWMC is closed. During next start of
application PG4UWMC the recent Protected mode settings obtained from .ini file are used.
There is one menu command - Options / Protected mode - that allows using Protected mode
in application PG4UWMC. After selecting the menu Options / Protected mode, password
dialog appears. User has to enter password twice to confirm the password is correct. After
successful password confirmation program switches to Protected mode.
Protected mode settings are saved to configuration .ini file of PG4UWMC. During next start of
program PG4UWMC the Protected mode settings from .ini file are used.
Checkbox Keep "Load project" operation allowed is set to inactive state by default - it
means the Load project operation button and menu will be disabled when Protected mode is
active.
If the option is enabled (checked), the Load project operation button and menu will be allowed
in Protected mode.
To switch program from Protected mode back to Normal mode, use the menu command
Options / Normal mode. The „Password required" dialog appears. User has to enter the
same password as the password entered during switch to Protected mode.
When Protected mode is active, the label "Protected mode" is visible near the top of Log
window of PG4UWMC main window.
Note: Sometimes when Protected mode is switched from active state to inactive state (Normal
mode), some commands (for example command "Load project") may remain disabled. This
can be resolved by clicking on button Stop ALL.
