User Manager

[Sahana]

I am facing a problem with the TestStand User Manager. I logged in as an Administrator. In the User Manager, I created a new user, configuring him as a Developer . I saved the changes and logged out. I again logged in the Developer account. Now, in the User Manager, TestStand allows me to configure only my account's(the developer account) password. This is because of the Privilege "Configure.Edit Users" set to False for a developer. But when I logout and login again in the Developer account, TS allows me to change even the Administrator's account and the Developer's Group Privileges or any other account's password and privileges. Why is this happening???

During the second time login, if I change the Developer's Group Privileges to only Developer, then for the next login it works properly. Again for the next login, TS allows to change any property.... Why is this happening?

I am using TS3.5

Hi,

That does sound strange.

Just to clarify what you are doing.

a) Created new user (as a developer)

b) logged in as new user, only allowed to changed passwords of new user.

c) logged out / logged in as new user. Now able to change any account, even the administrator.

d) change new user as developer, save and logged out

e) repeat as for b) etc.

When you log out do you close TestStand or do you just use the menu item File | Logout... .

That's right... Did u check that with your system?

This happens even if I logout by File | Logout or quit TS completely and start it again.

Hi,

I tried that using TS 3.5 and I am not seeing the same as you.

The only propery I can change is the password when logged in as a developer user and I can not cahnge any properties of the admininstrator, as expected.

Hi

The first time I login as a developer, everything will work fine. But from the next time onwards, it doesn't work as intended....

Hi,

Yeah, I tried that.

I'll repeat the exercise later.

Hi Sahana,

We have duplicated this behavior and discovered it to be a bug within TestStand 3.5.  This has been reported to R&D for further investigation.  For now, the best workaround is to not include the functionality to add/change user privileges within the OI.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Terry,

Was that in an OI or the SeqEditor or both?

Hi Ray,

Sorry, I forgot to specify this.  This bug is only in the sequence editor.
