Management > Set User Menu

This menu is used in conjunction with the Group Management window and the User Management window. See Admintool. If some buttons are grayed out, it means that a user must be selected in either of the two Management windows.

User properties

When we create or modify a user, we have access to all his properties.

The user settings are similar to those defined at the group level, with a few exceptions.

Global

If you uncheck use the type of user defined at group level, you can choose not only Vigilens viewer/web and Vigilens Designer, but Vigilens Dedicated too. This latest profile allows reserving one connexion (license) for this user. This is useful when you want to be sure that a free connexion will be available for this user at run time.

The dedicated working directory is the location where queries that the user can create, modify or delete are stored. If no working directory is specified, the “Archives” subdirectory of the directory where Vigilens was installed is used by default.

Be careful, this us a problem when using Vigilens on several different machines (for example, using Windows TSE with several servers). Indeed, in this case, the user is likely to use several different directories depending on the machine on which he is connected. In this case, it is strongly recommended to specify a working directory for each user.

This directory can be based on environment variables which allows, for example, to use several different directories, depending on the Windows user, for the same Vigilens user.

Rights restrictions

Identical to group rights restrictions, but if a box is checked at group level, you cannot un-check it at user level.

Time out

Identical to group time out, but values must be lower than what is defined at group level.

Data restriction

Identical to group data restrictions. However, if security is defined at group level, you cannot bypass it at user level. A Group Level Restrictions button let you see what is defined at group level.

Shared queries

You can either use the group settings or specify different directories.

Change user language

Allows you to change the languages (of the interface and descriptions from the database) of the selected user.

Move to another group

Move the user selected in the panel to the desired group. You can also drag & drop users from one group to another in the panel to achieve the same thing.
