Managing Users

Managing Users

The dialog window "ARCO users manager" permits the configuration of the users authorized to use the software ARCO and their privileges. Besides, for each user, it is possible to define the location of the directory containing personal files and the directory containing measure reports.

NOTE

The users who can be configured in ARCO are only those already defined for the operating system of the personal computer in use. <br />
Therefore, it is possible to add a user in ARCO only if he has already been defined as user of the personal computer.

When settings have been completed, click on OK to confirm or on Cancel to cancel the operation.
The window is composed by three sections:

• System: where it is possible to modify the settings of the system administrator user; it is not possible to add any user in this section, only one system administrator is allowed
  
• Programmer: where it is possible to add, remove system programmer users and modify their settings
  
• Operator: where it is possible to add, remove system operator users and modify their settings
  

The system administrator accesses all the functions of the software ARCO and he is the only one enabled to configure other users of ARCO .
The system programmer accesses all the functions of the software ARCO . In general, the programmer creates new Part Programs both in self-learning and in manual mode (writing directly the DMIS commands in the Part Program).
The system operator accesses only the basic functions of the software ARCO . In general, the operator executes the Part Programs created by the programmer.

NOTE

The system administrator coincides with the system account used for the installation of Arco. It is not possible to modify the user with system privilege. 

In each section the table lists the configured users.
