Changing the Access Level
MLV implements its own access system to limit access to certain functions of the program to groups of
users. The MLV system of users and access levels is completely independent of the system Windows
implements for users.
There are four access levels defined in MLV. In order of increasing ability, they are: No access,
Operator, Supervisor and Administrator. Although the access levels have specific names, the
assignment of capabilities to each level is arbitrary.
No access
When MLV first starts, the access level is set to the lowest level - i.e. no access. In general it is not
possible to carry out any operations from this access level, apart from view the various tabs in MLV
Operator Access
A minimal set of capabilities is implemented at the Operator access level, such as generation of
reports. Operators have no access level or user administration capabilities, other than the ability to
change their own password.
Supervisor Access
The Supervisor access level allows you to change most settings in MLV concerned with channel
logging and reporting setup. Supervisors can create and delete Operators and change Operator
passwords, and change their own passwords.
Administrator Access
This is the highest access level and provides the capability to alter installation settings an low-level
hardware settings. Administrator access will not normally be required by Temprecord customers
and is usually restricted to Temprecord personnel. Administrators can create and delete Operators
and Supervisors and change Operator and Supervisor passwords, and change their own
passwords.
No user can find out the password of another user, regardless of access level. Users of
any given access level can change passwords of users of lower access levels, but they
cannot see them.
User Name
Enter the username assigned to you by your administrator. Usernames are case-insensitive, i.e. you
can enter Fred, fred, FRED, fRED, etc. Usernames may display as you type, depending on the
setting of the Hide Username access option.
