24 Getting Started With AuthorIT
Auto-Login and the (supervisor) Password
Each computer can be set up so that AuthorIT will automatically log in to each Library
you open from that computer. If the Automatically login to library setting is turned
on (Tools > Options > General) then the login screen is skipped and the user is
logged in to the Library with the User Name and Password most recently used from
that computer. These details are stored in the System Registry of the computer, so a
measure of physical security is present.
If more than one user commonly works with each computer, you may want to turn
this option OFF when you install the AuthorIT program on each computer.
Because existing users have probably been automatically logging in to libraries as
ʺ(supervisor)ʺ during an evaluation, make sure you set a password for the
ʺ(supervisor)ʺ User, which will prevent people from logging in to most libraries
unprompted. After they have logged in under their own user name, Users can turn
that Auto Login option ON to make access more convenient.
Auto-Login and Passwords
If the Automatically login to library setting is turned on for the client (Tools >
Options > General), then when the user logs in to the Library, the User Name and
Password most recently used from that PC is used, and the login screen is skipped.
These details are stored in the System Registry of the client PC, so a measure of
physical security is present.
If your Users tend to access the Library from more than one computer, turn this
option OFF.
Customizing Each User's Styles Toolbar
For each Library, each user can customize the Styles toolbar in the Topic Editor, and
assign keystrokes to styles. You can also copy an existing userʹs customized styles, but
only from within the same Library.
