From the login properties dialog box, you can:
*See "Person Login Properties".
• define the login name, the user code associated with login and the login holder
*See step 1.
• modify user repository access definition mode
*See step 2.
• modify user status (inactive)
*See step 3.
• restrict user access to certain products
*See step 4.
• modify user authentication mode
*See step 5.
• restrict user repository access rights
*See "Restricting User Repository Access Rights".
• (in operating mode: definition of profiles on login of persons see "Definition of profiles to persons mode") give a profile to a user, i.e. connect the user login to a profile.
*At least one profile must be connected to the login.
*See step 6.
*See "Connecting Users to a Profile".
To configure a login:
1. Display the Characteristics tab of the login properties.
*See "Viewing Login Characteristics".
• The login Name and User Code attributes are already created, but you can modify these if necessary.
*A login is unique and defined for a person or person group.
*The User code is the short identifier (upper case) of the user. It serves as a basis for naming user private workspaces.
• The Login Holder represents the person or person group associated with this login.
2. (Optional) Modify the value of the Repository Access Definition Mode field. The default value is "Implicit Access".
*See "Repository access definition mode".
3. (Optional) The value of the Status field defines if the user is active or not.
4. (Optional) In the Command Line field, define the products available to which the user has access.
To restrict user access to products A and B, enter the command:
/RW’<accessible Product A code>;<accessible Product B code>;<...>’
For example: You have licenses for products MEGA Process, MEGA Architecture and other MEGA products. To authorize only the MEGA Process and MEGA Architecture modules to a user, enter: /RW’PRO;ARC’
*If a user is connected to a profile and the user and profile each have access to products restricted by the Command Line attribute, the products accessible to the user are at the intersection of the values of the Command Line attribute of the user (on his/her login) and profile.
5. (Optional) In the Authentication Mode field, click the arrow and modify the authentication mode. The default value is "MEGA".
*See "Authentication mode".
6. (in operating mode: definition of profiles on login of persons, see "Definition of profiles to persons mode") In the Profile frame, click Connect .
*A user without a profile cannot connect to MEGA. You must connect at least one profile to the login.
A wizard lists available profiles.
7. (Optional) To restrict the query, in the second field select characters of the profile to be queried and click Find .
8. In the list of profiles select the profile(s) you want to connect to the login.
*Use the [Ctrl] key to select more than one profile at the same time.
9. Click Add.
The selected profiles are connected to the user login.
10. Click Apply.
