Rights can only be assigned to user groups. Therefore, you must assign each user to a group.

There is automatically always a group ‎Everyone‎ and by default every user and every other group is initially a member of this group. Thus each user account is automatically equipped with at least the defined standard rights.

You cannot delete the group ‎Everyone‎, you can only rename it, and you cannot remove members from this group.

Caution: By default, ‎Everyone‎ does not have permission to change the current user, group, and permissions configuration.

There is automatically always an ‎Owner‎ group which contains an ‎Owner‎ user. In V3.5 and higher, only the ‎Owner‎ initially has permission to change the current user, group, and rights configuration in a new project. As a result, only the ‎Owner‎ can assign this permission to another group.

Initially, the ‎Owner‎ can log in with the ‎Owner‎ user name and an empty password.

You can add more users to the ‎Owner‎ group or remove users from it, but at least one member has to remain. Like ‎Everyone‎, you cannot delete the ‎Owner‎ group and it always has all permissions granted. This prevents a project from being rendered unusable by denying all access rights to all groups.

You can rename both the ‎Owner‎ group and the ‎Owner‎ user.

If the programming system or a project is restarted, no user is initially logged in to the project. However, the user can then login via a certain user account with user name and password in order to get the access rights defined for the account.

Each project has its own user management! Therefore, in order to get certain access rights to a library integrated into the project, for example, the user must explicitly log in to the library project.

Users and groups defined in different projects are not the same, even if they have the same names.

A user management in a project only makes sense if it is connected with corresponding rights assignment for the access to project and objects. The project rights are generally managed in the “Rights” dialog of the “User Management”. You can also change the access rights to an individual project object on the “Access Control” tab of the “Properties” of the object.

There are standard menu commands under “Project  User Management” for logging into and out of a project as a defined user. A password manager permits the management of the login data on your computer.
