Management of application designers in the development environment - configuration window

The window serves for managing designers and groups of application designers in the PROMOTIC development environment. The application designer management allows to secure the PROMOTIC application against unauthorized access and to set the settings for individual designers that are involved in the development of the application, the appropriate permissions that determine the designer's access to different parts of the application or development environment (e.g. forbid access to selected objects in the Pma object tree). If the designer login to the development environment is not activated, then access to the PROMOTIC application is not restricted and the application can be opened and edited in any supported PROMOTIC to the development environment. It is also possible to convert the application to a higher version without restrictions. If you want to secure the PROMOTIC application against unauthorized access, then it is necessary to enable the login of application designers to the development environment and create at least one designer account that is also an administrator, i.e. belongs to the group $Admin. This group is already preconfigured in each application and cannot be removed, edited or renamed. Each designer who belongs to this group becomes an administrator, i.e. has full access to the whole application and to the application designer administration. At the same time, an administrator cannot belong to a group other than $Admin. Only the administrator can also create, delete or edit other designer groups or other designer accounts. If you want to restrict some designers from accessing selected parts of the application, then you first need to create a new designer group and in this group create one or more permissions that, for example, prohibit access to selected objects in the Pma object tree. Then, one or more designer accounts can be created that belong to that designer group and, after login in to the development environment, they will be assigned all the permissions from that group. For more information see Access to the Pma object. For each application designer, a login name and either a password or a string of additional authentication conditions or both must be filled in. The process of login to the development environment depends on the number of designers and how they are authenticated. If only one designer (administrator) is registered in the application then:
If multiple designers are registered in the application then: This configuration window can be opened in the "Development environment settings" window.
