User Object (USER)

The User object records the logon settings, the user-group and folder assignments and the access rights and privileges of a user.

Object Definition

Purpose/Background

To access the Automation Engine system you must define at least one user. Single users are created as User objects.

The first user of a new client must be defined in system client 0; then it must be assigned to the already existing client. To move the user to the target client you can use the Duplicate/Link/Move and Move To... functions from the context menu. If this user has the required privileges, all further users can then be created in the numbered non-system client.

The user name is composed of the name of the user and his/her department separated by a slash. A maximum of 200 characters is allowed for this combination. 

Users in Client 0

By default, the client 0 contains the following User object/password combination:

Note the following:

Users in Clients 0001 to 9999
