User Management

The Security Manager is a program used to set security settings for users who log into ODIS software. It is installed in the same directory as with your ODIS version. By default, your ODIS install will at least two logins, "Supervisor" and "Operator". These users will have different roles depending on the Security Manager settings.

Running Security Manager

Security Manager Icon

Security Manager Login Prompt

To start the Security Manager for your ODIS install, locate the program within the install directory where ODIS resides. Double-click on the icon to open. You will be presented with a Login prompt similar to the one in ODIS software: however, only Administrators will be able to log in. The title bar should show the same version as your ODIS login.

Interface

Security Manager Main Interface

The main interface is very simple, and consists of a list of usernames at left, and settings for names, passwords, and Run Modes at right. The buttons at the bottom allow a user to be added or removed, and to apply changes.

Security settings will be closed if the "OK" or "Cancel" buttons are pressed.

User Settings

Full Name

this is the desired full name of the user. This can be the full name of the person using this login, e.g. "George Smith", or a group name such as "Quality Control" if the login is shared.

User Name

this is the name that will be used to log into the system. It will be added to the drop-down list of users when opening ODIS software.

Password/Confirm Password

user password for logging in. The password will not be shown, and must match in both text boxes.

Administrator

check this box if the user or group will have access to the Security Manager. Note: the Supervisor login is a special case: see below.

Run Mode

this determines the Run Mode that will be in operation when this user logs in. There are three possible modes: Basic, Advanced, and Production. For details on how each mode behaves in ODIS, click on the associated links.

Adding a user

To Add a user, press the "Add" button at the bottom.

Deleting a user

To Delete a user, select the user from the list at left and press "Delete".

Special Users

The "Supervisor" role is special and cannot be deleted: it will always remain an Administrator to allow at least one user to log into the Security Manager. The Full Name, password and Run Mode can be changed as needed.
