Users	Top

Button	Description
Add, Edit, View	Opens the User Maintenance page.
List Control
View	Opens the User Maintenance page.
Delete	Deletes the selected User from the SysUser table in the LabVantage database.
Copy	Standard Copy button.
SDC Access	Used to control SDC access with Departmental Security. See Departmental Security and SDC Access and Job Types in Concepts of LabVantage Security.
Manage Modules	Launches the Module Users page, where you can assign the selected User to Modules.
Security
Disable	Prompts you to enter a (free text) reason for disabling the selected User. If you satisfy this prompt by entering text for the reason, LabVantage disables the User. Disabled Users can not log onto LabVantage.
Enable	Enables a User that is currently disabled. This prompts you before actually enabling the User.
Force Password Change	Expires the selected User's current password. The next time the User logs on, he will be prompted to change his password. This is probably most useful when you change the properties of the Password Validator (see Password Validation) and want all Users to change their password to conform to the new rules. For example, all Users could be selected prior to clicking Force Change Password.
Manage Departments Manage Roles Manage Job Types	There is a many-to-many relationship between the Users and Departments (or Roles or Job Types). Accordingly, this opens a ManyToManyMaint page that lets you maintain this relationship. Selected Users on the left can be assigned to or removed from the Departments, Roles, or Job Types on the right. The example below shows Departments. These are "permanent" Department assignments, meaning they are assigned to this Department by the Administrator unless explicitly removed by the Administrator.
Configuration Report	Launches the Configuration Report utility.
Manage Calendar	See Calendars.
Manage Core Hours	See Calendars.
Privacy
Personal Info Report	Shows the Personal Information Data Report (see Data Privacy).

Button	Description
Add, Edit, View	Opens the Role Maintenance page:

How you assign Roles depends on the Security Type:

See Concepts of LabVantage Security for examples of how this works.

User Profile	Top

The User Profile detail offers user-specific settings for Logon Options, Business Objects Options, Animation Options, and Notification Options. The "Logon Options" allows a System Administrator to set the User's startup page, Menu, and Sidebar for multiple devices:

The "Logon Options" settings override global settings in the GUI Policy. The order for obtaining the URL is:

The "Menu" and "Sidebar" options have the same precedence, but are preceded by first looking in the request (menu and group can be passed in), then the session (information is cached in the session until changed).

The System Administrator has three options for specifying the User's startup page, as determined by the "Startup Type":

Settings can be defined for "Desktop" (PC), "Tablet", or "Phone" devices. Although the examples below use "Desktop" settings to set "Logon URL", the basic functionality is similar for "Tablet" and "Phone" devices, as well as "Start Menu" and "Start Sidebar".

The System Administrator sets "Startup Type" to "Assign a startup page, menu & sidebar" and "Logon URL" to the User's startup page:

When the User logs on, the specified page loads (in this example, the Sample List page). When he clicks "Change Preferences" in the upper right of the Layout, he sees only the Logon URL (read-only).

The System Administrator sets "Startup Type" to "User nominated startup page, menu & sidebar" and "Logon URL" to the User's startup page:

When the User logs on, the specified page loads (in this example, the Sample List page). When he clicks "Set as Start Page" in the upper right of the Layout, the current page (last page logged into the page history) is set as the "Logon URL". For example, if the User is on the Sample List page and clicks "Set as Start Page", a message shows that the current page is set, and the User clicks "Close":

When the User clicks "Change Preferences" in the upper right of the Layout, the Edit User page loads. Clicking "Choose Current" makes the current page the User's startup page:

The User can also change the "Startup Type" to "Continue where I left off" (see "Last" below).

The System Administrator sets "Startup Type" to "Continue where user left off":

When the User logs out, the last page in the page history is saved as the "Logon URL". On next logon, the history is retrieved to load the last page.

The User can also click "Change Preferences" in the upper right of the Layout, and can choose to nominate a startup page.

System Administrators can set a User's "Start Menu" and "Start Sidebar" using options similar to the Startup Page options. Clicking the ellipsis lets you choose the Gizmo that renders the desired Menu or Sidebar. Note that these options are available for all devices. Only the Desktop opions are shown below for clarity.

"Default Workbook" allows selection of the User's default ELN/LES Workbook.

User Job Types	Top

See Concepts of LabVantage Security for examples of setting up Job Types..

User Departments	Top

This detail is populated based on the Department's Users (Departments → Department Maintenance Page → Department Users). The Department defines a User's Default Testing Lab and Shift (below left), both of which can be overridden for the User (below right).

Calendars	Top

The "Calendars" detail defines and manages Calendars can be managed at the User level. This interacts with other levels of Calendar functionality. See Calendars → Calendar Management.
