Issue Details

Users log into TestStand to run a test on the floor, and at shift change, they are supposed to do the domain login to change the user in TestStand. We have some users selecting the domain logout instead and that's causing the TestStand sequence that is running at the time to fail upload. Can I change the login / logout procedure? And if so, how?

Solution

One way to get change this is to have the admin login automatically, for example by Disabling User Management in TestStand, but if you do not want operators to have that level of permissions and/or you are looking to track who runs each sequence, this may not be the best solution for your application. 

If you want to maintain users at another level but remove the logout feature (TBD - depends on whether you are using a custom operator interface (OI) or the sequence editor).
