Prerequisites:

  • You have created one or several user groups under the folder Project > System Settings > Security (see User Group Administration). The domain user group was assigned to at least one of these groups.
  • A supervisory user was created by copying the existing default admin and configuring adequate user rights.

 

Steps:

1 – Define User Properties
  • System Manager is in Engineering mode.
  1. In System Manager, select Management View.
  1. Select Project > System Settings > Users.
  • Click the Users tab.
  1. In the Users list, select a user.
  1. In the User Configuration expander, do the following:
  • Select the Deny logoff check box if the user is not permitted to shut down.
  • Select the Attempts allowed check box and define the maximum number of Desigo CC log on attempts. The user is locked from logging on to Desigo CC for 5 minutes when the number of attempts is exceeded.
  1. In the User Settings expander, do the following:
  • Under Language, select the appropriate language.
  • Under Client profile, select the corresponding user profile to layout Desigo CC.
    NOTE: The correct schema for your region is assigned to the project. The schema contains the mapping of categories, events and colors for the representation of the Alarm Summary bar.
  1. In the User Information expander, do the following:
  • Enter an expanded user description in the Full name field. This text displays as the user name on the Summary bar.
  • Enter an expanded description, for example, office number, in the Comment field.
Information

NOTE:
Users of a domain group are enabled by default. The domain group synchronization does not automatically enable users whose Enabled check box was cleared.

 

2 – Enable User
  1. In the Users list, select a user or use multi-select by pressing the CTRL or SHIFT keys.
  1. Select the Enabled check box for the user.
    NOTE: When you use multi-select, the check box next to the last selected user takes on the master function. Checking it, checks the check boxes of all selected users.
  1. Click Save .
  • The user is enabled and can log on to Desigo CC.
  • A history log entry is created for each enabled user.
Information

NOTE:
You can disable a user at any time if you have the appropriate user rights. Clear the Enabled check box.
