Where is Users...EditUsers control

I am trying to create a user list in TestStand. I have selected the automatic login option in the Station Options>>User Manager window. But when I then try to select View>>User Manager to create the access list, the selection is grayed out. I found a note that discusses setting User.Privileges.Configure.EditUsers to True but I don't know where this control is. I looked in the Users.ini file and it is set True. Does this control reside some where else? My account is part of the systems administrators group. What else would cause this menu selection to be grayed out?

Hi,

You have to be logged in to TestStand as administrator. That means if you set to use the windows login, then you have to use "administrator", or you the user has to have been setup as an administrator.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.
 
As I said, I am setup as an administrator. I also tried modifying the Users.ini file by replacing all the references to "administrator" with my user name. I know TS accepted this because when I closed and reopened TS, the login screen did not appear. This meand the auto login function worked properly. Unfortunately the View>>User Manager menu pick was still grated out. Any other ideas?
 
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

Sorry, I missed the bit about you logged as an administrator.

Try deleting the User.ini file and letting TestStand rebuild it when its launches.
