Managing Shared Users

note

This section describes old version of the User Manager software. Tessonics recommends using newer version of the Designer software for managing RSWA users.

The goal of shared users is to have consistent user names, passwords, and permissions in an environment where several operators have access to multiple RSWA units.

Similar to the RSWA Template Designer application, the RSWA Synchronizer takes care of ensuring each RSWA unit is up to date with the latest users. Managing shared users is done in the following manner:

1. Install the RSWA software onto a desktop PC (see Installing and Updating RSWA Software). Make sure the User Manager option is checked when you install the RSWA software.

2. Start the User Manager application, log in as Admin or as a user with shared user editing permissions.

3. Add, remove, or modify existing users as described earlier in this chapter.

4. Synchronize every RSWA unit using the Synchronizer application and a USB stick. Each RSWA will now have the updated Shared Users database.
