It is possible to have multiple users in NI VeriStand with different Privileges as per the requirements.
Each project defines a set of users and permissions. If a project has only one defined user, and that user does not have a password, then that user automatically is logged in.
Follow the steps mentioned below to create new user as an
Operator and specify the permissions/privileges:
1) Launch NI Veristand and open any existing project under the
Most Recent Projects in the
NI VeriStand Getting Started Window or click on
New NI VeriStand Project to create a new project and save it:
2) In the NI VeriStand Project Toolbar, Click on
Tools>>Manage Users:
User Account Manager Dialog Box should show up. You can manage
User Groups under the
Groups section by clicking on the
Add../Delete buttons under the
Groups section . By Default there are two groups present :
Administrator and
Operator. You can individually grant permissions by selecting the group and marking the required checkboxes under the
Permissions Category
as shown below:
3) Uncheck the
Administration Permission after selecting
Operator Group.
NOTE: Disallowing the Administration Permission will prevent the User from modifying the System Definition File. However, there are more Permissions which can further limit the tasks that a User can perform.4) Once you have configured the Permissions, you can then create a user in a specific group under the
User Accounts section. Click on
Add.. button to open the
Edit User Account dialog box. Set the
User Name and select
Operator as the
Group:
5) Click on
Change Password in the
Edit User Account dialog box to open the
Change User Password dialog box and configure the
New Password for specified User:
6) Save the changes by clicking on the
OK button and close the
User Account Manager dialog box.
7) NI VeriStand will now prompt you to enter the
User Name and
Password before you start working on an NI VeriStand Project as shown:
The Privileges will then be granted based on the User log-in credentials.
Additional Information
Any user from the
Operator Group with
Administration Permission denied will only be able to
Run Project and won't be allowed to
Configure Project from the
NI VeriStand Getting Started Window. Clicking on the
Configure Project option will result into an error as explained in the image below:
