programmatically accessing the individual privileges of a user

[smithms2]

Via the TestStand API, is there a way to programmatically access the privilege names of assigned to a user? I am trying to create a user manager to list and edit these flags. Ideally, it would be nice to use the version incorporated into the sequence editor; however it cannot be deployed on all the stations.

Thanks for your time and assistance,
Mark

Hi Mark,

You will first need to get the list of privillages by accessing the User.Privillages property. This will return a property object reference that will contain all of the privillages. You can then scroll through all of the properties and use User.HasPrivillage to verify if a user has the privillage enabled.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anymore info.

Hi Mark,

Have you looked at the CreateDeleteUser.seq in the TestStand examples folder.
This uses the API calls to Create or Delete users and therefore maybe a useful starting point.

Out of curiousity...what API calls would I need to perform to display the property dialog for changing the actual privilege?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
