Each user account has its own configuration Form that you can use to define the settings for the user account.
To display the User Form:
- Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar in the ClearSCADA Guide to ViewX and WebX Clients).
- Right-click on the User item for which you want to configure the User Account properties.
A context-sensitive menu is displayed. - Select the Edit Properties option.
The User Form is displayed.
(For other means of displaying a Form, see Display a Form in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration.)
The User Form consists of several tabs, each of which contains groups of settings. The Identification and User Methods tabs are common to many database items.
For more information on the Identification details, see Defining Identification Details in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration.
For more information on the User Methods details, see Using the User Methods Tab to Define Custom Actions in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration.
The General, Security, ViewX, WebX and Contact Information tabs contain settings that are specific to Users. For more information, see the topics that are listed in the gray footer section at the bottom of this topic. Select the relevant entry to display the topic that you require.
NOTE: Some User configuration settings are optional - you do not need to configure every setting for a User account to function.
NOTE: The settings on the Security tab only apply to User accounts that are managed directly in ClearSCADA. With User Accounts that are associated with Windows User Profiles, password management is performed via the relevant Windows domain.
When you have finished defining the settings for the user account, you need to store the changes. You do this by saving the configuration (see Saving Configuration Changes in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).
