SOLIDWORKS Electrical
offers two modes of User Rights management. The first mode consists of
locking configuration access and the second mode consists of using profiles
with associated rights. These two features cannot be cumulated.
Password protection
This option is used to restrict user rights to define configuration
parameters of the application and electrical projects by using a password.
Password required for configuration
functions: Check the box if you want to active the protected access
feature for configurations (Application settings and electrical project
configurations). A dialog box opens to enter a new password.
Change password: Allows you
to change the existing password. After entering the current password,
enter a new one.
Delete password: Click
this button if you want to delete the password. This action will deactivate
password protection. The password is required to delete it.
To apply these actions, SOLIDWORKS Electrical
must be restarted.
User rights management
This command allows you to manage user rights on certain features. A
User belongs to a Group
and a Group is associated with a Profile
in which the rights are managed. A password is required to use the software.
User must log in to use the software:
Check the box to activate this feature. The first time, a dialog box opens
to create the first User (Administrator), otherwise an Administrator password
is required.
Edit your account: Allows you
to manage the user accounts. A password is required to access the User properties dialog box.
Manage user rights: Opens the
User rights
management dialog box to manage Users
and Groups.

Warning: when you create a password, keep a back-up copy
of the password. There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. |
