User Account dialog
After the project initializes, if no users log on (or when the current user logs off), then the project
automatically logs on the default user (Guest). In addition to the default Guest user, there is a Guest group,
which has default privileges that enable all tasks. We recommend that you evaluate and edit the Guest group's
privileges to specify a minimal amount of privileges for the start up procedure.
To create a new user, click New to open the New User Account dialog.
To delete a user, click the User combo-box button, select the user name from list, and then click Delete.
To configure a user, use the following procedure:
1. Click the User combo-box button and select a user from the list.
2. If necessary, click the User is blocked checkbox to block the selected user.
Note: The Runtime user option indicates that a user was created during runtime using the
CreateUser function. It cannot be selected for a user created using the procedure described
here.
