HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer Administration Manual

Defining an End User 

To define an end user, select End User Validation from the user
validation menu.  This selection takes you to the end user validation
screen.


            

The procedure for entering an end-user name and password is the same as
the procedure for entering developer names and passwords.

The screen contains additional fields that allow you to place the end
user in a user group, define a default application for the user, and
place the user in training mode.

User Groups 

You can assign end users to a user group if you wish, although there is
no necessity to do so.  Assigning users to groups can simplify the tasks
of assigning users to applications and defining menu item security.

To assign an end user to a user group, enter the group name in the Group 
Name field.  A group cannot have the same name as a developer or an end
user.

There is no specific limit to the number of users that can be placed in a
user group.  However, HP ALLBASE/4GL stores all developer names, end-user
names, and user group names in a common table.  This table can contain up
to 254 entries.

Default Applications 

HP ALLBASE/4GL allows you to specify the name of a default application or
version for each end user.  When the end user signs on to HP ALLBASE/4GL,
the system displays the default application or version name in the
Application or Version field on the sign-on screen.  The user can type
over this name to run a different application or version.

If you want to assign a default application or version to a user, enter
the name of the application or version in the Default Application/Version 
Name field.  This field is optional so you can leave it blank if you
wish.  The application or version does not need to exist at the time you
complete this screen.

Training Mode 

Enter Y in this field if you want to place the end user in training mode.
In training mode, the user cannot write to the application data files.
If you place a user in training mode by entering Y in this field, the
user cannot disable the training mode.
