7. Changing User Account

Up one level

The Change User dialog may be reached from the Open From OpenEngagement, Save To OpenEngagement, My Workspace and Search Dialogs. Users will be logged on as the user they select in this dialog for as long as Working Papers is kept open, unless they later again specifically change user account, again in this dialog.

The user account changes will take affect even if users cancel out of the dialog from which they launched the Change User dialog. For example, if the user opens the Load From OpenEngagement dialog, selects Change User, enters a new username and password, hits OK, and then cancels out of the Load From OpenEngagement dialog, the user account change will still take affect.

This dialog also shows the name and site-wide roles of the current user, which may be convenient to check from time to time even without actually changing user account. The list of site-wide roles will not include Member, unless this is the current user's only site-wide role.

Changing user accounts may be used to test the DMS's security system is set up properly and that various users have, in fact, the desired access and lack of access to the Engagements within the DMS.
