Basic Concepts
This section describes old version of the User Manager software. Tessonics recommends using newer version of the Designer software for managing RSWA users.
User: Identifies the person who is using an application or RSWA so that access to functionality and data can be controlled.
Shared Users: Users that exist on many RSWA units and Desktop PCs with the same settings and permissions. This is meant to be used when a team of inspectors share many RSWA units. Additionally, data that is stored on individual units by shared users can easily be collected, merged, and redistributed.
Local Users: Users that only exist on one single RSWA. This is useful for individuals who only use one particular RSWA unit. This mode is only recommended for single RSWA units that do not use any Part Inspection types or Reporting. Local users on an RSWA are not known on a Desktop PC, and their names will not show properly.
Admin User: The user on every RSWA unit that has access to all applications, settings and data. This user is password protected and cannot be deleted or edited in any way. This user is only meant to be used for administration purposes.
Permissions: Used to limit and control users access to restricted functionality and data. There are no limitations as to how permissions are granted but users should be trained to use the restricted features and data before they are granted permission. Because permissions directly affect the execution of the applications we develop, the list of permissions that can be granted is maintained by Tessonics.
Passwords: All users have the option of password protecting their account but are not required to do so. Passwords are case-insensitive (i.e. PAssWOrd = password) and allow for any combination of characters (including spaces). In the event that a user forgets their password, it can be reset by the user management software.
