Technical Notes 

  The default setting for Composer security is Not enabled. This setting allows 

any user to run Composer. You can choose to enable security later on, if 

desired. 

  If you select Enabled during setup, you cannot disable the security later on.  

A complete reinstallation is needed to reverse this selection. 

  To learn about how to set the other parameters in this window (not directly 

related to Composer security), see the 

MM8000 ICC (A6V10062413). 

  Composer users are defined in a list handled by the 

Composer User Manager 

application. In order to be enabled to run Composer, a user must be defined in 

User Manager [➙ 25].  

When Composer is started, the logged-in user is checked and compared to the 

User Manager list: if the user is present in the list, then Composer opens; 

otherwise an error message displays and Composer stops.  

Composer users may or may not be included in the users defined for any given 

project that will be enabled to operate the DMS8000 product. 

4.2.1

 

Composer User Manager 

The User Manager tool is a simple application that allows configuring privileges 

[➙ 26] for the Windows users. Privileges include being able to: 

  Start Composer 

  Create new projects 

  Run configuration commands 

  Access the node information 

The User Manager application can also associate each user to a security profile, 

which defines the set of available commands, and to a visibility level, which 

enables the access to a given set of Composer node properties. 
The three security profiles are as follows: 

  Guest: guest users can open or restore a project, print, back-up, and download 

it. However, they cannot modify the project configuration. 

  Standard: standard users have the same capability as guests, and they also 

have the permission to modify projects. Instead, they are not allowed to use the 

User Manager tool. 

  Administrator: administrators have full control on projects (as for the 

Standard 

profile) and also the permissions for using the User Manager tool. 

The visibility level can be one of the following: 

  Standard: for each node, Composer shows the basic set of properties. 

  Advanced: the entire set of customisable properties is shown. 

  Debug: reserved for the software development department. 

Do not select this 

option. 

 

 

We recommend using the following combinations:  

- Field technicians dealing with backup/restore/download: Guest/Standard  

- Project engineers configuring the system options: Standard/Advanced  

- Security Administrators: Administrator/Advanced 

The user who installed product CD is automatically added to the Composer list as 

the main administrator. This user cannot be removed. 
Note that user accounts defined in the Composer User Manager are 

not added in 

the Windows user list (they should already be configured in Windows).
