Converting to prohibit shared profiles mode
Prohibit shared profiles mode causes user profiles (and alternative user profiles)
to be locked to user records. For example, user 1 can have only “User 1 Profile|”
and optionally “User 1 Alt Profile|”.
When prohibit shared profiles mode is selected Forcefield converts the entire
user database and creates a profile (and an alternate profile, if required) for each
user. This conversion may take considerable time, depending on the number of
users.
Note: No user maintenance operations may be carried out while the conversion
process is active.
To enable prohibit shared profiles mode, and to convert the user database:
1. Backup the database.
2. If enabled, disable Auto Logoff on the workstation where the conversion will
take place (see “Workstation options—other” on page 177).
3. Logout on that workstation.
4. Log back in with a login that has all privileges.
5. Select Admin > Configuration > Configuration, and then click User (see
“Configuring user options” on page 232).
6. Select Prohibit Shared Profiles. A selection dialogue box opens.
