User Data

This resource allows you to work with the MDS. See MDS (Master Data Store) .

In the "User Data" resource, you will find groups and users set by Prinect Signa Station for internal user administration. All groups and users are subject to certain permissions.

You can create, edit and delete users, provided that you have the necessary permissions.

Concept

Prinect Signa Station has its own user administration. This means that you can define and manage your users yourself in Prinect Signa Station.

User permissions in Prinect Signa Station basically control how resources are handled.

User data are managed locally by Prinect Signa Station. If there is a connection to an MDS server, the MDS is first queried for user data. Only if the user is unknown in the MDS is the search and login then local in Prinect Signa Station.

The following is applicable both for local and for Prinect user administration: The permissions of a user are defined solely by belonging to one of the following permission groups:

•Group with administrator permissions

•Group with Poweruser permissions

•Group with user permissions

The permissions of the group are based on a hierarchy: administrator permissions have the most authority and guest permissions the least.

The following users are defined by default after installation:

Local user administration:

Prinect user administration:

You must log in as administrator with "Signa" as your user name and "signa" as your password the first time you start Prinect Signa Station after installation. You then have permission to create users and assign them to the permission group desired.

Only "PrePress" users can log in at Prinect Signa Station.

Assigning Permissions

You assign user permissions in "Jobs & Resources > Resources & Machines > User Data".

You can create users with the context-sensitive menu in the relevant permission group. The following example will be used to describe the procedure.

Example: Creating and assigning a user to a permission group.

We will create the following user in this example:

•User name: "HD_Admin"

•Password: "Heidelberg"

•Permission group: Administrator permissions

•Local user administration

Creating a User

1.Mark "PrePress Administrators" in "User Data" and display the context-sensitive menu.

2.Click "New User Data..." to create the new user.

3.Type in "HD_Admin" as the user name and "Heidelberg" as the password twice and click "Save".
You will then see the new "HD_Admin" user in the list of defined "PrePress Administrators". The new "HD_Admin" user now has the permissions of the "PrePressAdministrators" group.

(4).You can change the password of every user. To do this, double-click the user in the user list, enter a new password twice and then click "Save".

(5).You can delete every user that you created. Mark the user and display the context-sensitive menu. Click "Delete User Data" to remove the user.

Assigning Different Permissions to a User

Let's take the new "HD_Admin" user from the above example. This user is just to have Poweruser per­missions instead of administrator permissions.

1.Mark the "HD_Admin" user.

2.Drag-and-drop the user to the "PrepressPoweruser" group.
