User Accounts
EDM has user management features that allow multiple user accounts to be
created, each with different features enabled. This allows the user interface to be
personalized for different users, and to control access to different levels of
configuration. By default, there are two users defined: the Admin and the
Operator. The admin has access to every feature and has the ability to edit the
privileges of other users. The operator only has the basic privileges required to
operate but not to edit a test.
When EDM is initially installed, the accounts Admin and Operator have empty
passwords.
In the welcome screen when EDM first starts up, there is a section for logging in
with a user name and password. Once a user has logged in, only the features
enabled for that user account will be available. Accounts can be set as
Administrator or Normal User accounts, and only Administrator accounts can
change the user account settings.
To edit user accounts, you must be logged in under an administrator account.
Selecting Account Manage in the Tools menu brings up a dialog window with
a list of the defined users. On each row, there are links to change the password,
change the account options, or delete the account. On the bottom of the window,
there are buttons to add a new account, delete an account, and to duplicate the
selected account.
