4 PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS — 21CFR11
ENVIRONMENTS
Use the Users and Groups Worksheet for 21CFR11 on page5 - 3 to log user names and
assigned groups.
The Confirm application uses Windows Users and Groups to control access to the Micromeritics
Confirm application. When the Micromeritics Confirm application is installed, two Confirm groups
are created. Confirm users must be assigned to only one group.
If the computer will be connected to a LAN, the network/Windows administrator must be available
to install the network connection. Also, if the analyzer files need to be accessible to a LIMS, file
location will need to be discussed during installation.
Confirm User Name Description
mic_[analyzer model
number]_controller
mic_[analyzer model number]_controller is the user name used by all
installations.
n This user should have complete control over the installation dir-
ectory.
n The application is launched under this user name and has this
user’s privileges to the windows file system.
n This user should not be used by anyone or any other software that
is not a Micromeritics application.
n The system administrator has the option of modifying this account
so that the password never expires. Alternatively, if the password
does expire while the application is running, the application auto-
matically changes the password for this account.
