Managing Users

In this topic:

Viewing Users

Combined Logins

What You Can Do

The Users folder in the Management tool lists all users detected from Spector 360 recording on your network. (The list will be empty until recording begins.) These are the users that Dashboard users can select for Global or General Criteria.  You can view ONLY the users allowed to you in your Dashboard login permissions.

ONLY Master Logins can add, import, edit, delete, and group users.  

This section addresses users of Spector 360 Client computers that appear in the Dashboard's General Criteria selection. To manage Dashboard users, see Managing Dashboard Logins.

Viewing Users  

To view monitored users:

Click the Management button and select the Users folder in the upper portion of the navigation pane. A list of all users appears in the right pane.  

"Combined" Logins

Some users may appear with <combined> in place of the computer or domain login information. This indicates that the Spector 360 Data Vault has been configured to merge each instance of a user's login, regardless of the computer or domain being used, into a single "user" for Dashboard purposes.  The feature is intended for organizations using a Novel or Windows Workgroups network.

Combining computer/domains means that a student, who may log into 5 different computers across a campus in a day, will have one set of Dashboard data associated with his or her user name. The appropriate computer and domain information is still recorded and maintained with each event.

What You Can Do

All users can sort the list. Only a Master Login can Add, Delete, Edit, and Import users.

To use Users Management:

Define User Groups
When there are many users on the network, the Master Login should define User Groups to simplify managing users and selecting criteria. See Grouping Users.
