Copy rights from another user |
Click this to select another VSys user and copy all of that user's rights, including security roles and superuser status, to this user. Overwrites all of this user's existing rights. |
Set password expiration |
Prompts for an expiration date for the person's password. |
Reset login failure count |
If this person is locked out due to too many failed login attempts, resets the timer and allows him to log in again. |
Describe rights |
Creates a report detailing the security rights for this individual. |
Copy compatibility mode rights |
Copies the user's rights from compatibility mode to advanced mode and displays the results. Because the two modes have very different underlying concepts this is an approximate copy, but VSys does its best to copy rights for tools, people, certifications and jobs. (Project rights and application rights, among others, are not copied.) Only available if security is still in compatibility mode. |
User properties
Field name |
Description |
User ID |
A unique ID that the user will use to log into VSys. It must be at least three characters long and may only have in it the characters a..z and 0..9. VSys will force it to be lower-case. |
Password |
Must be at least three characters long and meet the system-defined password complexity rules. |
Verify password |
Type the same password again to verify that it's being typed correctly. |
Enabled |
When checked, the user can log in to VSys One and/or VSys Lite. |
Superuser (all rights) |
If checked this gives the user complete access to everything in VSys One and VSys Lite, bypassing all other security restrictions and rights. |
Password expires immediately |
Requires the user to change his password the next time he logs in. |
Only valid on VSys Lite |
If checked, this user can only log into VSys Lite and not into VSys One. |
User expires |
If checked, sets an expiration date for this person as a user. After this date, the user will no longer be able to log in. |
Default tool profile |
Used only if tool profiles are enabled, defines the tool profile that will be used when this person signs into VSys One. |
Default VSys Lite tool profile |
If VSys Lite and tool profiles are enabled, sets the tool profile that will be used when this person signs into VSys Lite. |
If the user ID is invalid or conflicts with another user, or the passwords don't match or are invalid, VSys will show an error and won't allow any of the data to be saved.
