User Management

User Management allows streamlining collaboration and control within the Web Monitor. Users can be created and given different roles, therefore providing access control to the system's Web Monitor functionality.

Note

If not logged in with any other user account, the Web Monitor is accessed by the guest user account. Per default (and after a factory reset), this account has full access to all features from Live View and Diagnostics in order to maintain compatibility. The guest user's rights can be changed by an administrator if default access shall be limited.

User Roles

Users can have one of 3 different roles:

  • Users have full access to all Web Monitor features from Live View and Diagnostics

  • Administrators can use the same features as Users, additionally they have access to the user management

  • Custom roles can be configured to provide access only to a selected set of features

Access to the following features can be granted or denied:

  • Live View

    Visualizer, Proxy, Playback, Recording, Live Controls Read-Access, Live Controls Write-Access. Visualizer is required to be granted for all others.

  • Diagnostics

    Anchor Link, Tracker Link, Analyzer, Recording, PDF Report, System Report, Info, I/O Monitoring.

  • Maintenance

    System Info, Advanced Maintenance, System Update.

  • Apps

    Tablet Applications Download.

  • User Management

    User Management Dashboard.

Accessing the Dashboard

Creation, modification and deletion of user accounts is managed via the dashboard, which is accessible from the Web Monitor, using the icon_web_monitor_login-3_25_2.png button next to the Main/Backup indicator.

Login with an administrator account to access the dashboard.

After successful login, the name of the currently logged in user will show up on the top right corner. Clicking on it will reveal a menu with multiple options:

  • User Settings opens a dialog for making changes to the current user account, e.g. changing the password.

  • User Management opens the User Management Dashboard for managing all user accounts

  • Add New User opens a dialog for creating a new user account and assigning a role to it

  • Log Out logs out the current user

Note

The default administrator account has the username admin and the password admin. Go to the user settings and change the password after first login.

Selecting User Management brings up the User Management Dashboard, which lists all users. The dashboard allows creation, modification and deletion of user accounts. The guest and admin accounts are fixed and cannot be removed.
