Manage Users

Manage user accounts, permissions, and access within the SDK console application. The Manage Users interface provides comprehensive user administration capabilities for system administrators.

To access the user management interface, click the Manage Users button in the site administration toolbar.

User Management Interface

The Manage Users interface displays a comprehensive list of all users in the system, allowing administrators to:

• View user account information including username, name, email, and activation status
• Activate or deactivate user accounts
• Edit user profiles and default settings
• Delete user accounts (except system accounts)
• Search and filter users by username
• Sort users by various criteria

User Actions

User Account Management

User Status Management: - Active Users: Can log in and access the SDK console functionality - Inactive Users: Cannot log in and are locked out of the system - System Protection: Core system accounts (lxradmin, MDRDFTUSR) are protected from deactivation and deletion

User Search and Filtering: - Use the search box to filter users by username (case-insensitive) - Sort users by Username, Name, Email, or Status - Navigate through multiple pages of users using pagination controls

Edit Profile

The Edit Profile dialog allows administrators to modify user account settings and default configurations. Access this dialog by clicking the edit (pencil) icon next to any user in the user list.

Profile Fields:

Profile Management: - Changes take effect immediately upon saving - Users will see the updated default values when creating new specifications - System accounts (lxradmin, MDRDFTUSR) have limited editable fields for security

User Management Procedures

Activating/Deactivating Users: 1. Locate the user in the user list 2. Click the lock/unlock (/) icon next to the user 3. Provide your login password when prompted 4. Confirm the status change

Editing User Profiles:

Security Considerations:

• All user management actions require administrator password confirmation

• System accounts (lxradmin, MDRDFTUSR) are protected from modification

• User class changes affect immediate access permissions

• Deactivated users lose access immediately upon status change

Authorities

SDK Generation Authorities Overview

The SDK Generation Authorities provide a granular mechanism for setting source file and generated object authorities from the SDK console. This system offers both site-wide settings and user-specific overrides, with a hierarchical checking system that first checks user-level settings and then falls back to site-wide defaults.

Key Features:

• Hierarchical Authority Resolution: User-specific authorities take precedence over site-wide settings

• Application Storage Integration: Authority values are set and stored during the login process

• Granular Control: Separate authority settings for source files and generated program objects

• Flexible Configuration: Supports both individual user overrides and system-wide defaults

To access the Authorities management interface, click the Authorities button in the site administration toolbar.

Authority Management Interface

The Authorities interface provides a comprehensive view of all user authorities in the system, allowing administrators to:

• View all existing authorities with their permissions
• Add new authorities for users or the site
• Edit existing authority permissions
• Delete authorities (except system authorities)
