Ineffective strategies for an unwanted user
Honeywell does not recommend the following strategies. They are misguided! They are
explained so that they are not mistakenly used or produce a false sense of security. For a
correct strategy, see the procedure:: To Deny Access to a User of Your Multi System,
above.
Changing the user's password. For this to work, the unwanted user would have to first refresh
the Local database or quit using View, both optional acts. This is an ineffective strategy.
Deleting a user's account (before denying access).
This involves more steps than in the procedure at the beginning of this section. After deleting
the account, you would still have to change the system password. As a result (see
Password, on p. 172), you then need to update security at the sites that this user must not
access, and communicate with your entire user base, so that each refresh their local database.
This is not good strategy.
