Users, groups, and stations administration
You can assign privileges and permissions to users, groups, and stations to an application by using the Datacap Web Client or Datacap Navigator web client.
In an environment with multiple Datacap servers, the privileges and permissions assigned to users, groups, and stations for an application are effective only on the Datacap server where the change is made. All Datacap Server Services that connect to the application must be restarted. The server does not need to be restarted but the server service must be restarted.
When Workflow changes are made, all clients should be stopped before hand and then after the Workflow changes all servers recycled before clients are allowed to connect.
- Add a user - You can add a user to your application and assign privileges and permissions to the user. You can also add a user to a Datacap group. When you add a user to a group, the user inherits the privileges and permissions of that group.
- Add a group - You can add a group to your Datacap application and assign privileges and permissions to the group. All users that are members of the group inherit the privileges and permissions that are assigned to the group.
- Add a station - You can add a station to your Datacap
application and assign permissions to run specific job tasks from that station.
While creating a Station Datacap Navigator administration view, the user logs in to provide a Station ID. Under the General tab, the value in the Maximum field for maximum sessions for that particular Station must not be greater than
9999
.If the maximum sessions value for any Station is greater than
9999
, the user is not able to connect to Datacap Navigator afterward. - Set virtual stations - You can allow multiple users to log in to a station by setting the
maximum number of virtual stations to greater than zero. When a station ID is set up with a
Maximum number of virtual stations that is greater than zero, multiple users
can log in to the station ID. When you set the maximum number of virtual stations to zero, multiple
users are denied authorization to log in to that station.
When you set up virtual stations, Datacap assigns a unique substation identifier to each login and allows multiple logins up to the Maximum number specified. If a user's session times outs and the Maximum number of virtual stations is greater than zero, the user can log in again without requiring support from the system administrator. When the Maximum number of virtual stations is set to zero or the maximum number of virtual stations is reached, the user's next attempt to log in will fail. The system administrator must clear the virtual stations for that station ID to allow the user to log in again.
