Qiagen QIAcuity 911000 User Manual page 96

From QIAcuity Software Suite 2.0 and Control Software 2.0 onwards, the QIAcuity system offers
an advanced user management, which supports users meeting Good Manufacturing Practice
(GMP)/Good Laboratory (GLP) regulations. The user management is centralized and controlled by
the QIAcuity Software Suite only. In contrast to older software versions, users can no longer be
created and edited by the instrument control software. All users, their roles, and their permissions
are created and edited in the Software Suite and are automatically transferred to the instrument
control software, facilitating unique and synchronized user management information. In version
2.1, users can either select predefined roles or create their own by selecting proper permission.
As a consequence, all users created with older versions then SW 2.0 will be overwritten by the
software suite user management during an update to CSW 2.0 or CSW 2.1. After completing the
update to Software Suite 2.1 and CSW 2.1, users might have to be created again in the Software
Suite 2.1.
Important: For update starting from Software Suite 2.0 and instrument control software 2.0, users
will be migrated and forced to change their password during first login attempt (except the initial
administrator user with login name "admin" provided by QIAGEN during the initial installation).
When working with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/Good Laboratory (GLP) regulations,
please deactivate this initial admin user (for which the password does not expire) once at least an
additional user with administrator rights has been created.
The advanced User Management allows to create, edit, activate, and deactivate the user and
provide a unique login and one password for both the instrument and the Software Suite (PC). Login
is entered only once and cannot be changed. In addition, each user is assigned to a specific user
role (see Roles).
A user role is a set of permissions to features relating to the instrument or the Software Suite (PC).
Each user is assigned to one role only.
The centralized user management enables independent use of instrument software and Suite
software. Regardless of which user is logged in with which role on the Suite software, another user
can log in with a different role on the instrument. Both log-ins are completely independent from each
other.
Roles
This section describes roles available in the QIAcuity Software Suite and Instrument Control
Software. Roles may be viewed as the set of permissions and are designed in a way to suite both
labs that need to fulfill Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/Good Laboratory (GLP) regulations
and Molecular Biology Application (MBA) labs.
