User settings
Overview
This window is used to create or edit an ANY-maze user's account.
Figure 1. The User settings window, where an administrator can enter or edit a user's account details.
Details
| User name | Enter the name of the user. You can enter anything you like up to a maximum of 24 characters, although the name must be unique amongst the names of existing users. |
| User password | Enter a password for the user's account. Depending on how you've set the user policies, you may not have to enter a password, but if you do then it must be at least 5 characters long and different to the user's name. Note that all leading and trailing spaces are automatically removed and aren't counted in the 5 character requirement - for example, entering ' dog' will not be accepted (because the two spaces at the start of the password would be ignored and the password would be seen to have just 3 characters). Spaces within the password, such as 'my dog', are acceptable. |
| Confirm password | Simply re-enter the password, to confirm that the entry you made is what you intended. |
| Administrator | If this user is to be an ANY-maze administrator, then check this box. Administrators must have passwords, irrespective of the user policies. |
Administrators can:
| | • | Create, edit and delete user accounts |
| | • | Change administrative options |
| | • | Install updates to the system |
| | • | Activate/deactivate ANY-maze licences |
| | • | Change the location of shared ANY-maze files |
In general, we recommend that there's only one ANY-maze administrator per system.
| By default protect this user's files | When saving an Experiment file or Protocol file, users can optionally provide a password that will be used to 'lock' the file so other people can't open it - this facility is explained more fully in the Saving experiments and Saving protocols topics. |
If it is anticipated that a user will generally take advantage of this facility, then checking this box will set ANY-maze to automatically use the user's password to protect any files that they save. Of course, as this is only a default, users can still change an individual file to have a different password (or no password at all).
