Question: Does
ExpressMaintenance use the Windows Login account or does it require it's
own login account.
Answer: User
Accounts are setup in ExpressMaintenance under Administration / User
Accounts. In that screen the administrator can assign None, Read
Only, Write and Full levels of permission to different areas of the
program per user account.
By default,
ExpressMaintenance when executed will check the Windows login account
and if it matches an account in the ExpressMaintenance user accounts it
will proceed to automatically login that user without prompting for a
login. This is convenient and prevents the user from having to
re-login to ExpressMaintenance when their permissions are handled by the
Windows operating system.
However, this feature
can present a problem if several users are using the same computer and
the same Windows login account on that computer. It can also
present a problem is a user uses multiple login accounts in
ExpressMaintenance for example to access different sites or databases.
Therefore the automatic feature can be turned off.
To turn off the use
automatic use of the Windows login simply edit the
ExpressMaintenance.ini file which resides in the folder with
ExpressMaintenance.ini. To turn the feature off, simply add the
line "UseWindowsLogin=No". In the example below Windows login
account will NOT be used to login to ExpressMaintenance.
