Security

AMT can use your Windows user name to set your security. This user has to be defined in AMT and assigned to a user group, which determines the user's access rights. To define users and user groups within AMT Development, select the menu item "View - Security", or enter "SEC" in the Open commandbox. The authorization screen will appear (only available to the system administrator). Please note that these options apply only to AMT Development users. AMT runtime users have their security settings specified via the Control Center.


The user of the current user can be viewed in the 'About...' window (accessed from the 'Help' menu) inside the AMT Developer Studio.

Inheriting Users

The SEC options will inherit users from the following sources:

Imported Applications: Imported applications contain revision control and therefore user codes. These users will be imported into the SEC. They will, however, have no rights.
Repository: Users will also be inherited from the repository.

The authorization screen contains the tabsheets as shown below:

"Users" - add or remove user and specify the user group to which a user belongs.
"Groups" - add or remove user groups and specify users within the user groups.
"Access" - specify the access roles that a user group has for selected applications. If a user is in a group that has been given access roles, these roles still apply if this user is also assigned to one or more other groups that have not been given those roles.

Adding a new User

This is done on the "Users" tabsheet.
Click the "New" button, The User group box will become active.
Enter the name of the user to add and in the groups list select the user group(s) the user should be a member of as shown below. Then click "Ok".
Once a user has been added, it is not possible to change the user name.

Adjusting/Deleting a Usercode

This is done on the "Users" tabsheet.
To adjust the settings of a user, select the user and click "Edit" (or double-click on the user name). In the User group box, (de)select the user group(s) then click "OK".
To delete a user, select the user then click "Delete". Click "Yes" to confirm.
A deletion will only remove the user, and not its user group.

Adding a new user group

This is done on the "Groups" tabsheet.
Click the "New" button, the Group group box will become active.
Enter the name of the group to add and in the members list select the user(s) that should be member of this group as shown below. Then click "Ok".
When the "System administrator" checkbox is checked, members of this user group will be system wide administrators. This setting overrides all other security settings giving the members full control of the repository.
When the "Add new applications" checkbox is checked, members of this user group will be able to add new applications to the repository.
When the "Delete applications" checkbox is checked, members of this user group will be able to delete applications from the repository.
Once a user group has been added, it is not possible to change the user group name.
New user groups will have the 'Look into' permission enabled by default for all applications.

Adjusting/Deleting a User group

This is done on the "Groups" tabsheet.
To adjust the settings of a user group select a user group and click "Edit" (or double-click on the user group). In the members list, (de)select the user(s) then click "OK".
To delete a user group, select it then click "Delete". Click "Yes" to confirm.
A deletion will only remove the user group, and not its users.

Setting the Access Permissions

This is done on the "Access" tabsheet.
Select a user group and an application generation set, then click the "Edit" button. The Access permissions group box will become active as shown below.
Select the required rights in the "Access permissions" list. These are described below.
Click "OK" to accept the changes.


Changes to permissions of other users will become active once the user has restarted the AMT Developer Studio.
