User administration

Menu Project – User administration.

With the user administration one or more users are assigned to a page of the visualization. Through the control element Block user control you log in on the APP and afterwards only see those pages that are released for this user. A finished example is available under Help – Example projects – demo_benutzer.

In the dialog users are created with + and removed again with −. For each entry a user name and a password are given. The user name is stored in the project, the password on the other hand in the persistent values of the controller – because it can also be changed at the control element and must not be overwritten again on the next transfer.

Assigning pages

In the properties of the page those users are selected that may access the page. The following applies:

• If no user is linked, the page is always visible to everyone.
• If nobody is logged in, the first page is shown that all users have access to.
• If there is no such page, simply the first page of the project is shown.

The first page in the project should therefore always be the one open to everyone – and that is where the control element for logging in belongs.

How it is built up

1. The first page in the project is linked to no user and carries the control element for logging in.
2. For every user an own start page is created and linked to that user. It is shown as soon as they log in.
3. On this start page there are only the page jumps to those pages the user should be able to reach – their rooms, for instance. Because they can only get further from there, only the start page has to be linked to the user.

Tip: If the APP is to start with a certain user right away without logging in, there is the start parameter --logon-user, see APP – Start parameters.
