Administrative management of users in runtime mode. The users with defined rights are saved in a
CSV file and then in the application memory.
This preconfiguration can be activated when creating a new object (e.g. by
"New object ..." in the context menu of the object or by pressing the
Insert key after selecting the object) and is included in the group:
"/ Panels (PmaPanel) / Others examples".
This preconfiguration can be created in the object:
PmaFolder,
PmaRoot,
PmaPanel or
PmaWorkspace.
The preconfiguration is created including the panel (object of the
PmaPanel type) is functional also as
Web panel.
The preconfiguration creates three
PmaPanel objects. The main panel is titled
"AdminUsers" and has two subobjects:
The "
EditUsers" panel represents a
Modal window for adding new user or editin an existing one.
The "
ChangePass" panel represents a
Modal window for changing the password of current user.
All these objects have, on the "
Permissions" tab, defined all items for the users from the
$ADMIN group. The "
AdminUsers" panel serves for loading a table containing a user list and adding/editing them using the function buttons. The
CreateView method is used for opening.
The main panel has the following methods:
Crypt - (complementary) for coding and decoding the user login password
GetGroup - (complementary) for loading the list of available user groups
GetUsers - (complementary) for loading the complete list of all users (saved in ini or pra file)
InitUsers - (essential) adds the users saved in the csv file into the running application
LoadUsers - (essential) loads the array containing all users with user rights from the csv file
SaveUsers - (essential) saves the array containing all users with user rights into the csv file
UserAdd - (essential) prepares the array for saving with values updated from the user editing
UserChangePass - (essential) prepares the array for saving with modified value of password for selected user
UserRemove - (essential) prepares the array for saving without the values for deleted user
The basic essential method is
InitUsers. It uses the
AddUser method in order to add all users saved in the
CSV file into the running application. This method is called always when modifications are being made to user list and it also has to be called after the application is launched. Designer's methods
LoadUsers and
SaveUsers serves for loading or for saving
all users together with their permissions into the
csv file. (It is possible to modify them in order to allow saving into some database table.) The
EncryptText and
DecryptText methods are used in the complementary
Crypt method where the
sSeed variable for coding and decoding the login password can be changed.
The main panel contains the
PmgWTable object and some
PmgButton buttons. In the
onStart event of the table, there is a script used for filling in the table with the list of users gathered from the
csv file. The script in the
onCellClicked event allows to select a row. In the
onCellEditRequested event, a new
EditUsers window is opened for editing the selected user. Buttons of the
PmgButton type contain the a script in the
onButtonUp event, that executes the desired action.
The "
EditUsers" panel is opened in the
onCellEditRequested event of the table or from buttons
Add or
Edit. The panel itself contains
PmgWEdit,
PmgString,
PmgButton and
PmgWTable objects. In the
onStart event of the table, each objects is filled with the data of the edited user. These can be edited as needed and the confirmed and saved by the "
OK" button.
The
ChangePass panel is opened from the main panel by the "
Change password" button. The panel contains the
PmgWEdit,
PmgString and
PmgButton objects. In the
onStart event of the
PmgButton object the original user login data is saved into the hidden
Pmg objects. After the new user login data is entered and the
OK pressed, the script compares the data and saves it.
These configurators can be set before the preconfiguration is created:
| The name of created object | Name of the object created in the Pma objects tree.
The maximum name length is 30 characters.
This is a system name, so it must contain only alphanumeric and must not contain any diacritics (i.e. national dependent characters), empty string, spaces and the first character must not be a number.
Default: "AdminUsers" |
|---|
|
| Permissions | On this tab permissions of the object are defined. See the "Permission" tab of the PmaObject object. |
|---|
| Member of logical groups | The list of the logical groups identifiers (the comma ',' is the separator), the object belongs into (it is a group member), see the "Logical groups" configuration window.
The logical group selection can be done in the "Member of logical groups" window.
After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaObject > Object > Member of logical groups" configurator will be set to this value. |
|---|
| File name for saving the user permissions | The file name for saving the users and their user rights (default) users |
|---|
| Password encryption string | string, for example "xyz" is used as a seed for the EncryptText and DecryptText methods for crypting the user password. |
|---|
|
| Enable as Web component | Specifies whether this object has to be registered as a Web server component
After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaPanel > Web server > Enable as Web component" configurator will be set to this value. |
|---|
Example1:
Example of calling the
"InitUsers" method at application launch. The script must be placed into the
onAppStartEnd event of the
PmaRoot object.
Example2:
Example of opening the
AdminUsers panel in the
onButtonUp event of the
PmgButton object located in another panel. (The panel will be opened only by a user that is logged in and belonging to the
$ADMIN group).
