Configure user rights of the Admin Scout!
Starting with version 3.2, it is possible to create users in Admin-Scout and grant or revoke their rights to individual menu entries.
The configuration dialog can be found on the Admin-Scout-homepage in the configuration in the tab 'User rights'.
By default, only 2 users exist here. The cursoradmin user is the administrator user and cannot be deleted.
All other users can be changed. To create a new user, simply enter the user name in the Login selection field and click on another field. Now the remaining fields can be filled. When creating a new user, the password is mandatory. If a password is specified, the strength of the password is also checked. The rule requires at least 8 characters and at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one number and one special character.
When changing a user, it is not necessary to specify the password. If the fields remain empty, the password will not be changed.
In the center of the menu tree you can set the rights of the individual menu items. The current value can be recognized by the icon of the entry. The following options are available:
 |
Entry is allowed |
 |
Entry is restricted |
 |
MEntry is read only allowed - the SQL editor requires its own user authentication |
 |
Entry is allowed - read only is available but not selected |
 |
Entry is restricted - read only is available but not selected |
The rights of the menu items can be changed in the context menu of the items (right click). There is also the possibility to convert whole menu branches.
The same options are available in the right pane. Here the rights of the connections are maintained. You can disallow or allow connections for individual users. By default, a connection is available for all users. The read-only option does not exist for connections.
