Your login information consists of a login name, configuration directory (AR Home Directory), and a server list. The configuration directory is a directory that the AR System uses to hold your personalized configuration information for both the User and Notification Tools. If you do not specify alternate configuration directories and more than one person logs into your User and Notification Tools, your customizations (preferences) may be overwritten and notifications stored in the notification log may be both yours and theirs. If more than one person will be using the User and Notification Tools on your PC, you may want to specify an alternate configuration directory for each user. This allows each user to have their own customizations (preferences, customized defaults, and customized views) and notification log.
Note: You should only add a user that the AR System administrator has already added as a registered user of the AR System. Otherwise, if they are not a registered user, and unregistered users are allowed on the servers in the server list, the User Tool starts with a "guest" set of capabilities. A guest user can retrieve any public information in the system. In addition, a guest user may be allowed to submit ARs, record a macro, generate a report, specify user defaults, and possibly review ARs.
If they are not a registered user, and unregistered users are not allowed on the servers in the server list, they will not be able to log in at all.
We provide default login information for any user who logs into the User Tool who does not specify any alternate login information. When first installing the AR System, the default login's configuration directory is named Home. Throughout this manual, we refer to your configuration directory as either <ar_config_dir> or Home.
Note: If you change your configuration directory for the User Tool, you are also changing it for the Notification Tool.
The server list is the list of servers that you can connect to with your User and Notification Tools. The server name must be a name that is known on the network. You supply the default server list when first installing the Action Request System.
Note: Any user can change any other user's login information.
