centralized user management

[paicolman]

Is it possible to manage TS users from a centralized poin (using a network drive)?

I have a couple of machines running TestStand and would like to manage the users able to login to those machines. I know I can define the location of the config directory for TestStand, but then I get all other ini files like StationGlobals, etc. into the same dir, so it's not a solution.

Is there a way to tell TestStand to search just for the users.ini file in a location different to the standard Cfg directory?

Sure, edit the User Manager tab of the Station Options.  Uncheck "Use Default" and browse to the user.ini file you would like to use.

How do I do this using the API? I've been looking and looking and can't find anything..
