Preconfiguration "Runtime users management"

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 local object menu or by pressing the Insert key after selecting the object) and is included in the group: " / Panels (PmPanel) / Others examples".

This preconfiguration can be used with the objects: PmFolder, PmRoot, PmPanel or PmWorkspace.

The preconfiguration is created including the panel (PmPanel object) functionality as a Web panel. The preconfiguration creates three PmPanel type objects. The main panel is titled "AdminUsers" and has two subobjects:

All these objects have, on the Permissions page, defined all items for the users from the $ADMIN group. The "AdminUsers" main panel is used for loading a table containing a user list and adding/editing them using the function buttons. The OpenView method is used for opening.

The main panel has the following methods:

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 always called when modifications are being made to user list and it also has to be called at application launch. Designer's methods LoadUsers and SaveUsers are used for loading or saving all users together with their rights 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 modified.

The main panel contains the PmTable graphic item and some PmiButton buttons. In the onStart table event, there is a script used for filling in the table with the list of users gathered from the csv file. The script in the CellClicked event allws to select a row. In the CellEditRequested event, a new EditUsers window is opened for editing the selected user. Button of PmiButton type contain the a script in the onButtonUp event, that executes the desired action. The EditUsers panel is opened from the CellEditRequested event of the table or from buttons Add or Edit. The panel itself contains PmiWEdit, PmiText, PmiButton and PmTable graphic items. In the onStart event of the table, each graphic item 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 PmiWEdit, PmiText and PmiButton graphic items. In the onStart event of the PmiButton item the original user login data is saved into the hidden items. After the new user login data is entered and the OK pressed, the script compares the data and saves it.
