Delete users who are no longer needed on the
instruments and use the "standby timeout" function for
automatic logout on inactivity (see the Standby timeout
and Logon session timeout configuration items).
Ensure that users log off the instrument when they have
finished using it (see “User log off”).
When using user lists with passwords in combination
with a DMS (see the User ID validation configuration
item), the instrument has the following options for user
passwords:
• Upload user lists with configured passwords
• Upload user lists with empty passwords
The user list with configured passwords is active once
uploaded to the instrument.
For user lists with empty passwords, users are prompted
to enter a new password when they first log on. Ensure
that users set their password immediately on an
instrument. This measure ensures that the password is
synchronized with the DMS and distributed to all
available instruments.

Access restrictions for settings
You should configure additional access restrictions to
instrument menus based on your needs using the
following configuration items:
• Allow configuration by barcode on the
instrument
• Allow access to lot management on the
instrument,
• Allow access to administrator features
• Access restrictions to date and time
During the initial installation of an instrument, ensure
that the “Setup password” is set accordingly.
