How to save User settings in Sequence

[Tiemo_Mo]

Hi,

We are saving our TestStand Sequences on a server where everyone can download it to his/her own station.
How can I attach the User Manager Settings to the Sequence? Or how can I distinguish between engineer or operator at runtime?

regards

Hi Tiemo_Mo,

TestStand stores User information outside of the Sequence Files in TestStand Application Data>\Cfg\Users.ini (well it did in TS2019, I doubt it has changed since). 

NOTE:  I have never used a similar user configuration across multiple test stations but allowing your users access to Users.ini in the same way as you have for your sequences may be enough.  It might be worth you reading up on User deployments.

You can require/force your "Engineers" and "Operators" to login to TestStand and you can use the logged in user to make your decision.

Hope this helps

Steve

Hi Steve,

yes this might work out. I guess this is the way I will implement it.

thanks and best regards
