14 | SCENARIOS OF USER ADMINISTRATION
With the firmware version 7.214, the user administration has been extended, which makes it possible to log in via different access
authorisations.
These different options are described in more detail in the following scenarios.
The term operator distinction refers in the following to the distinction of the human users of the device and not to the user accounts.

14.1 WITHOUT OPERATOR DISTINCTION

If the user administration is deactivated (no check mark at the system option Activate user administration in [System] > Tab Opt.),
the default setting is used.
In this case, any user who has access to the system can make all settings and changes with the maximum rights.
The system uses the user name General. This name is used for all database entries.
Access to the user administration is blocked so that information about the different users is not accessible.

14.2 WITHOUT OPERATOR DISTINCTION, BUT WITH PROTECTED CONFIGURATIONS

IIn this scenario, anyone can use the system but is not allowed to change the system settings.
To meet this scenario, please activate the user administration in [System] > Tab Opt. > Activate user administration (check mark).
You need administrator rights for this.
In addition, please enable automatic login of a user. This user must have the rights of a User and has not been assigned a pass-
word. You need administrator rights for this.

Each time the device is restarted, the user with the automatic login is logged in directly and the device is ready for use.
Automatic login can not be enabled for users with administrator rights.
To make system settings in this scenario, first log off the user, and then log in with a user with administrator rights.

ACTIVATE AUTOMATIC LOGIN:

 Press [User] > [Edit] > Tab Options
 Activate the option Automatic login

Fig. 28: Automatic login

14.3 WITHOUT OPERATOR DISTINCTION, BUT WITH PROTECTED CONFIGURATIONS AND ACCESS PROTECTION

In addition to the previous scenario, you can protect access to the system with a password. This gives everyone access to the
system that knows the password and enters it correctly. Changes to the system settings are still not allowed.

To meet this scenario, a user who has the rights of a User and who is automatically logged in must be assigned a password at creation.
If the user who is automatically logged in enters an incorrect password, each user of the device can log in with their login and
password afterwards. This is then equivalent to the scenario With operator distinction.
To make system settings in this scenario, first log off the user, and then log in with a user with administrator rights.
Supplementary, you can forbid the user who has the rights of a User and who is automatically logged in to change their pass-
word. You need administrator rights for this.

19
 LOCK PASSWORD
 Press [User] > [Edit] > Tab Options
 Activate the option Lock password

Fig. 29: Lock password

14.4 WITH OPERATOR DISTINCTION

If every user of the system should have their own access, the user administration must be activated and in addition no user must
have the automatic login activated.
Users without the automatic login must have a password. If this was not assigned when creating the user, the password must be
created when the user logs in for the first time.
For users who have the rights of a User, you can specify whether a password change is allowed. You need administrator rights for this.
The initial creation of the password is not affected by this setting.
It is not possible for users who have the rights of an administrator to prohibit the change of the password.
If you restart the device, you will be asked to enter a valid login with the corresponding password to log in.

20
15 | AUDIT TRAIL
The audit trail is available since firmware version 7.214.

The device contains an audit trail function. This function offers a computer-generated and timestamped recording off all changes
which are relevant for the measurement or the system when using the device. The logged history is stored safely and is neither
editable nor erasable.
When the audit trail is activated, both the settings at the time of a measurement and the measurement result itself are traceable in
combination with the result menu.

15.1 ACTIVATING THE AUDIT TRAIL

The audit trail can be activated and deactivated in the system setting menu. To do this administrator rights are needed.

ACTIVATING THE AUDIT TRAIL:

 Press [System] > [Edit] > Tab Opt.
 Activate the option Activate Audit-Trail
 The comment of the audit trail can be activated with the
option Comment Audit-Trail-Log
If this option is activated, every audit trail log entry has to be
commented.
 To confirm the activation press [OK]

Fig. 30: Activating the audit trail

15.2 OPENING THE AUDIT TRAIL LOG

To access the audit trail log the window for the device information has to be selected. Only users with administrator rights have
access to the audit trail log.

OPENING THE AUDIT TRAIL LOG

 Press the icon [?] within the start screen

Fig. 31: Opening the audit trail log

21
15.3 RECORDED CONTENT

Each entry of the audit trail saves ten specific values. These
values offer an unambiguous assignment of the changes.

Fig. 32: Audit trail entry

The audit trail entries are sorted automatically by their IDs. The
newest entry will be shown first.

The following table shows the meaning of the columns used in

the audit trail log.

VALUE MEANING
ID A unique entry identifier.
The consecutive number starts by 1.
Menu The name of the menu where the setting can be
found.
Object The name of the object to which the setting
belongs.
Register The name of the tab where the setting can be
found.
Field Name of the setting.
old value The old option for the setting.
new value The new option for the setting.
Comment An annotation about the setting changes entered
by the user. Available only if the commentary
feature is enabled in the system options.
User The name of the user who was logged in and
made the change.
Date+time The timestamp when the change was saved.

15.4 FUNCTIONALITY OF THE ENTRY CREATION

Changing the settings within the menus System, Methods or
User by pressing OK and returning to the start screen causes
an entry in the audit trail.
If more than one change was made, an appropriate number of
entries will be generated in the audit trail.
If a new object is created (Method, Scale, User, etc.) every
possible setting for the object will be saved in the audit trail log.
Erasing an object leads to a single entry in the audit trail. Only
the process of erasing will be saved.
Cancel refuses all changes. No change will be saved in the
audit trail log.
If one setting is changes several times before clicking OK, only
the last state will be saved in the audit trail log.

Fig. 33: System changes create an audit trail entry

Fig. 34: Corresponding audit trail entry of the system change

22
15.5 PRINTING OR EXPORTING THE AUDIT TRAIL LOG
If a printer is configured (network or PDF file), the audit trail log can be printed or exported. Printing or exporting the audit trail log
will always result in a complete audit trail log. It is not possible to print parts of the audit trail log.
Printing the audit trail log is not supported by the serial ASCII printer.
Only users with administrator rights can view the audit trail log, hence administrator permission is needed for printing the audit trail
log.
