In the main menu Server -> User permissions dialog, user credentials for different items (Jobs, Tasks, Triggers, Notifications, Client settings, Server settings, Time exceptions, User administration and Log) are handled.
The main dialog of the User permissions window lists all users that are allowed to connect to this server. Note that the users are VisualCron specific users and not the ordinary Windows users. Use the Manage user permissions toolbar Add, Edit, Clone or Delete to perform actions against the list. Clone makes a shallow copy, a new user with the same permissions as the original user.
A user can be active (green check icon) or inactive (red cross icon). When active, the user is granted to login with the predefined permissions.
When you add, edit or clone a user you are presented with the Add/Edit user window.
Credentials tab
Name
This is the name that will be seen in the Manage users list, logs and "created by"/"modified by" in the Job list.
Username
This is the username which is used at login.
Password
This is the password which is used at login.
In a future version of VisualCron, the email field will be used for an administrator to send a reminder of the login credentials.
Permissions tab
You are able to set exactly what the user can and can not do. There are different kinds of permissions which has different default attribute settings.
A permission can have the following attributes:
| • | "Read" - Allows the object to be viewed/showed in some way. This can be a window or a list |
| • | "Add" - Allows the user to add and object to a list |
| • | "Edit" - Allows the user to edit an object in a list or window |
| • | "Delete" - Allows the user to delete an object from a list |
| • | "Execute" - Allows the user to run/execute something |
Not all permissions has, for obvious reasons, all attributes available. For example, permission "Log" can only be viewable or not and has, therefore, only the "Read" setting is available for change. When a setting cannot be changed for a permission it is grayed out/disabled.
For each permission, use the select boxes to update the valid attribute types. Your changes to a user will be saved when clicking OK.
