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 a physical directory on the user's local machine, containing the queries he creates. By default, the working directory of a user is located in the “Archives” subdirectory of the directory where Vigilens has been installed.

Be careful, this is a problem when using Vigilens under Windows TSE because there is only one default working directory (on the server) shared by all users, hence possible problems of access to the files. 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 to use, for the same Vigilens user, different directories defined at the Windows user level.

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.
