Users

 

 

 

 

This command is only available in remote PDM mode. It allows you to create and modify users, and enable or disable an account.

 

Creation Stages / Use:

 

Select PDM > Users... from the TopSolid button.

 

 

 

  1. Select one or several names from the list.

  2. Allows you to delete one or several users. Deleted users can't be restored.

 

 

If a user has documents under modification or creation, it is not possible to delete him. On the other hand, if he has checked in or canceled his changes, his deletion is possible.

The deletion is never done in the database, the user is just non usable.

 

 

Allows you to disable a user account. The user will not be able to log into the PDM.

 

Allows you to enable a disabled user account.

 

Allows you to export a list of users in a .csv file.

 

 

Into the .csv file, dates are saved with US format (only format supported).

 

 

Allows you to import a list of users. For example a list coming from Microsoft Active Directory can be used to create users in TopSolid. The file has to be a .csv file.

 

 

To know the this csv format, just create a user in TopSolid and export it to have an example.

 

 

Additional information:

 

The Show disabled users option allows to display them in the list.

 

 

  • User is really created in the database when the window of creation is closed.

  • An user can only be deleted if no document is out of the vault. But, it will be not deleted of the database because some documents like draft (title block) references it in the property "author".

  • Suppression of user is irreversible.

  • The Initials field allows you to automatically populate the Author field (title block, etc.)

 

 

Only users with administration rights are authorized to use this command (by default, only the "Admin" account get them).
