User roles

Every user can take on one of three roles, each of which is allocated different software functions. The functions that are linked to each role are predefined and cannot be changed.

Administrator

The Administrator has the right to use all of the software's functions. Only the administrator can change a software user's rights, register new users and allocate them a user role. The user who installs the software will automatically be set up as an administrator. It is possible for several users to be allocated administrator rights.

Power User

The Power User has the right to use all of the software functions. He cannot however, change a user's rights.

Standard User

The Standard User has the right to use only a limited number of functions. The commands to change the device configuration Acquire > Calibrations... and Acquire > Devices are hidden.

At the time of installation, in addition to the administrator, a user with the name Standard User and the role Standard user will be set up. Everyone who logs on with another as the administrator's name, starts the software automatically as a Standard User. You need not, therefore, register additional users to make the software available to multiple users.

You can also delete the Standard User! In this way, only users who you have set up a user name for can start the software.
