6-11-3 Menu Option Access Levels

A user can detach from specialised user privileges by logging out. Access is
again dependant on the application. There is no dialog box associated with
logout; once logout is activated privileges are immediately discontinued. While
one user is logged in, it is possible for a different user to log in, as prior to
login, the current user is automatically logged-out by CX-Supervisor.
A user with the designer privilege can further amend the user configuration in
the runtime environment using a similar dialog box to the development
environment's Configured Users dialog box. As well as typing a password,
verification of the password is required, and both fields are disguised by a '*'
symbol. This is so that a new user can apply their own password, and that only
they know the password. Verification is required to ensure the password was
typed correctly in the first instance.
In CX-Supervisor v3.1, a new feature was added to the Security System that
allows CX-Supervisor users to be linked with Windows users, using the 'Use
Windows Login Credentials' option shown in the 'Configured Users' dialog
above. This functionality is associated with the CFR functionality and provides
a greater level of security protection, including password expiration etc., by
making use of the Windows security features.
To open the Menu Option Access Levels dialog box select Menu Option
Access Levels from the Runtime Security menu
As well as a context-sensitive floating menu for the development environment,
there is a floating menu for the runtime environment which is configurable in
the development environment. It is possible to select the operations to be on
the runtime floating menu, by clicking the relevant setting across the three tabs
General, Utilities and Communications. It is also possible to assign a level of
user privilege to the menu, so each level of user sees a different floating
menu. This is achieved by selecting a user privilege from the relative drop
down list. The Communications tab permits the activation of CX-Server
