Part 4: Advanced concept 133 2. Select "Configure groupware". 3. The User Groupware management window appears. This window is used to: • manage users and groups, • manage rights, • display statistics, • migrate data coming from a User Groupware version 17 and earlier. 4.1 Managing users The user management consists in: • creating users, • creating groups, • associating users with groups. To create a new user, you must specify: • the user’s last name. • the user’s first name. • the username (mandatory). This username is the identifier used to log in to the application. • the user’s password. This password is optional and can be entered by the user the first time they log in (check the corresponding option). The user can be defined as supervisor of the application. You can also modify or delete users. When you delete a user, you can delete the entire user or their rights only. Users can be grouped . To associate a user with a group, simply drag the user and drop it onto the selected group. A user can be associated with several groups. Remarks : • It is recommended to change the supervisor’s password the first time you use the application. • If you use an LDAP directory, you can import the users form the directory to manage their rights. 4.2 Managing rights The supervisor can manage the rights granted to each user (or group of users) on the elements of the project windows. A specific state can be defined for all the elements of a window associated with a user. The elements in the windows, internal windows and window templates are as follows: • controls. • groups of controls. • menu options. The following states are available for each element: • Default : the element behavior corresponds to the default behavior, defined in the application. • Inactive : the element is displayed but no input can be performed. • Grayed : the element is grayed. No input can be performed. • Invisible : the element is not displayed. 4.3 Displaying statistics You can get application usage statistics by user for a specific period.
