API to add a user to a group

[cfyao]

By calling Engine.NewUser we can create a new user:

Set user = Eninge.NewUser(userProfile)

But the new user is not added as a member of any user groups. What are the APIs to add a user to a user group?

Thanks for the help!

Hi maplebridge,

You can use Engine.UsersFile, UsersFile.UserGroupList and User.Members to get access to the group list and make changes to who is a member of the group.

Thanks, Jon! I tried it out, and it worked. I have further questions about Teststand user management:

1) I create a new user in sequence editor, say op. User op has no privileges when created. But if I log on as op, I still can acess Configur menu which I think I shouldn't. Is this a bug?

2) Then I log on as administrator and add user op to two groups: Administrator and Technician, and then log on as op. Now op looks like administrator. What's the rule of user privileges overriding if a user is in a group or in more than one group?
