Editing User Information

Once you have created a User ID, you can edit its account settings as follows. Note that when you are adding a
new User ID, you do not need to follow Steps 1 through 3, as the Edit User screen automatically displays
whenever a new User ID is created.
1. Select the DataGuard tab.
2. Press the Edit User button.
3. Select a User ID from the list using the scroll buttons and then press OK.
4. You can modify the following User ID settings:
• User Level — Indicates the level of access the user has to various Analyzer menus. The options in
order of ascending access are Operator (default for all new User IDs), Maintenance, Quality, and
Administrator. See Figure 22: Menu Map — Menu Lockout Off (Requires Calibration Passwords) on
page 102 for a menu map that indicates the minimum User Level required to access each menu.
• User Status — Indicates whether the User ID is Active (default for all new User IDs) or Inactive.
When you set a User ID to Inactive, the user will not be able to log in to the Analyzer, and the User ID
will be deleted from memory the next time you archive (see "Archiving User Accounts" on page 109
for more information). Note that if the user unsuccessfully attempts to log in to the Analyzer five
times, the account is automatically set to Inactive; see "Reactivating Inactivated User Accounts" on
page 109 for more information.
• Password Expired — Indicates whether the user will be required to establish a new Password at the
next successful log in. The default for a new user is True. Change this setting to False if you do not
want to require the user to change the Password at the next log in. This value defaults to the setting
chosen for the last User ID that was created.
Note: To help a new user remember the password, and to ensure security, require a new
user to change the Password upon login.
• Password — Press the Password button to change the Password for the selected User ID.
5. Press the Menu button to save changes and return to the DataGuard screen.
