Manage Permissions

After you configure and deploy the project, you can create multiple types of accounts for permission management, preventing regular accounts from arbitrarily modifying the configured and deployed project. Currently, Mech-Metrics supports the creation of two types of accounts: Administrator accounts and Operator accounts. The administrator account has all permissions, while the operator account has permission to view and analyze measurement data. This document describes how to create administrator and operator accounts, manage these two account types, and switch between them.

Creating an Administrator Account

  1. In the top menu bar, select File  Project Access Control. The Add Administrator dialog box will pop up.

  2. In the pop-up dialog box, enter the username and set the password for the new administrator account, then click OK. The Project Access Control page will be displayed.

  3. On the Administrator tab of the page, you can view the created administrator account.

  • To add more administrator accounts, click Add account in the upper-right corner of the Administrator tab, enter the username and set the password for the new administrator account, and then click OK.

  • To edit an existing administrator account, go to the Administrator tab, locate the desired account, and then click the edit button in the Operation column of that account.

  • You can delete administrator accounts using one of the following methods:

    • Delete a single administrator account: Locate the desired administrator account under the Administrator tab and click the delete button in the Operation column. If the delete button is not available, it indicates that only one administrator account exists, which is the default administrator account and cannot be deleted.

    • Delete all accounts: Click Advanced settings at the bottom-left corner of the Project Access Control page. On the Advanced settings page, click Delete all accounts.

Create an Operator Account

  1. On the Project Access Control page, click the Operator tab. On the Operator tab, click Add Account in the upper-right corner.

  2. In the pop-up dialog box, enter the username and set the password for the new operator account, and then click OK.

  3. On the Operator tab, you can view the created operator account.

  • To add more operator accounts, repeat the above steps.

  • To edit an existing operator account, locate the account on the Operator tab and click the edit button in the Operation column of that account.

  • To delete an operator account, choose one of the following methods:

    • Delete a single operator account: Locate the operator account and click the delete button in the Operation column of that account.

    • Delete all accounts: Click Advanced settings at the bottom-left corner of the Project Access Control page. On the Advanced settings page, click Delete all accounts.

Switch Accounts

  1. After you create the administrator and operator accounts, close the Project Access Control page. The user will default to using the first created Administrator account and will enter the software’s Configuration interface.

  2. To switch to another account, click the currently used Administrator account in the top-right corner of the software and select* Switch Account* or Log Out.

  3. In the pop-up Log In dialog box, select the account to switch to, enter the password, and then click OK.

  4. After the switch, the account being used will change to the new account.

    1. If you switch to an operator account, you will enter the software’s Production interface.

    2. If you switch to another administrator account, you will remain in the software’s Configuration interface.

If you forget your password, follow these steps:

  1. In the Log In dialog box, click Forget password.

  2. In the pop-up dialog box, enter the verification code (the verification code can be obtained by contacting technical support) and click Verify.

  3. After successful verification, reset your password.
