	Name	Description
1	Toolbar	Displays the icons for operations such as Add, Delete or Save.
2	Users	Lists all the defined users with access to Desigo CC. A user name is used to log on to Desigo CC. In a distributed system, the check box in the Global column indicates the type of user.
3	Enabled	When selected, a user can operate Desigo CC (default setting). Disabled users cannot log on to Desigo CC.
4	Group membership	Displays the user group assignment to a user.
5	Configured groups	Displays user groups that can be assigned a user.
6	New password (local user only)	Enter a new user password. Desigo CC has no password policy for a local account.
7	Confirm new password (local user only)	Confirm the new password.
8	Apply (local user only)	Saves a new password immediately. The Apply button applies only to a changed password, and is available only if the confirmation matches the password. NOTE: A password cannot be saved with Save.
9	User with no groups	Shows all users with no user group assigned. Correct user configuration requires for each user to be assigned to a user group.
10	Attempts allowed	Allows you to specify how many times a user can attempt to log on to Desigo CC.
11	Deny Logoff	When selected, the user cannot do an operator log off or exit Desigo CC by ending the work session.
12	Language	Defines the language displayed in the user dialog boxes for Desigo CC.
13	Client Profile	Defines display of Desigo CC applications on the management station (affecting Summary Bar lamps, Event List, Event Detail Bar, and so on). For more information, see the Client Profile section.
14	Flex Client Profile	Defines display of applications on the Flex Client (affecting Summary Bar lamps, Event List, Event Detail Bar, and so on). For more information, see the Flex Client Profile section. NOTE: When you create a new user, the Flex Client Profile for that user would be set to Default. However, in case of a project upgrade, in which the Flex Client profile does not exist, the profile for a user is set only after modifying some parameters such as user name, user type, and so on, and thereafter click Save As .
15	Full Name	Descriptive user name, displayed in the Summary bar.
16	Comment	Additional information to describe a user, for example, office number.
17	Access point	Displays the client, which is used by the user. NOTE: Only when Type is WSI, the access point is the manager id, mentioned in SMC.
18	Type	Displays the type of client, which uses different interface (CCOM/WSI/Installed).
19	Failed attempts	The number entered determines the number of wrong logons that are available to a user. A user is locked from logging on to Desigo CC for 5 minutes when the number of attempts is exceeded.
20	Reset	(Also called as Global Reset).Resets the failed attempts for all the access points of a user, to zero.

Information

NOTE:
If the configured number of logon attempts allowed is reached, the user is blocked from logging on to the respective interface (such as the management station, Flex Client or Click-Once). The user must be re-activated by someone with a higher level of access rights.

Client Profile

Various profiles are available for the individual disciplines or applications. The list of available client profiles depends on the specific installation. For detailed information, refer to the Stations Configuration Parameters section.

Information

NOTE 1:
The following user activities are recorded in Desigo CC :
- Creating or deleting a user
- Changing a password
- Changing a user (without detail information on the change).

NOTE 2:
As the default setting, the user DefaultAdmin is assigned to the DefaultAdmins user group, and DefaultUser is assigned to the DefaultUsers group. Neither can be deleted. Ensure that you remember the password at a later date. Desigo CC provides no backdoor for forgotten passwords.
Create an administrator users group and an administrator on site, when handing over a project to the customer (Disabling DefaultAdmin user).
