User Administration

When the Adaplink service installation has been completed the admin user is automatically created.

• Log into Adaplink with the admin user to create additional specific AdapLink users for each actual AdapLink user.

  

• In the Navigator window start the User Management application in the COMMON folder.

• Set the Enable box, click Insert and then Back to User Management.

  

• Select the Permission group and click the Assign Permissions button.

• For each server directory indicate whether Download should be allowed or denied and whether upload should be allowed or denied. Then click Save button.

  

• Then switch to Model Type Processing and click the Configure button.

  

• For each processing group indicate whether the Permission Group should be able to see the Processing Group, Change/Write the processing group and/or Execute the processing group.
