Users user group is defined at the Network level – see the same set up references as for

Windows password security
Unless you choose to allow completely free access to the program (Authentication Method
set to None in the Settings dialog box – see
System settings , page 92), aCOLyte3 uses
Windows password authentication to control access. This means that in order to log on to
aCOLyte3, the user must enter a valid Windows user name and password for the PC – note that
it does not have to be the user name and password of the currently logged on Windows user.
The fact that aCOLyte3 uses Windows password authentication also means that the password
security policy is determined by Windows, and can be set by the Windows administrator. For
example, for a stand-alone aCOLyte3 system, running secpol.msc displays the Local Security
Settings window:
These settings determine the password policy for aCOLyte3 on the PC, so, for example, setting
the Account lockout threshold to 5 invalid logon attempts would mean that if the user made
five invalid log on attempts, nobody will be able to log on to aCOLyte3 on the PC during the
Account lockout duration.
