Open Dialog

You must log-in as a user for each model due to Innovator's own user and authorization management system. Repositories can be used in single sign-on mode. Innovator then recognizes you automatically but you still have the option of logging-in as model administrator or guest.

Purpose

The dialog is used for completing user information required when a model is opened. A user and role must be selected depending on the situation.

an Innovator model from a repository should run without single sign-on in the private cloud or
if the model administrator is logged-in,

then a password is also required.

The Innovator model is then opened in the Innovator interface.

Structure

The Open dialog can contain the following elements:

button

The button is used for selecting an edition and is only activated if you have licenses for various editions.
User drop-down list

The drop-down list contains at least the Model Administrator entry. The list does not appear if the user is already set before the model is opened.
Role drop-down list

The drop-down list contains all roles for the previously-selected user configured in the model. There are no roles for the Model Administrator and Guest users. The list only appears if a role can really be selected.
<Password> field

A password can be configured in the user management for users, including Model Administrator and Guest; this must then be entered here.
button

Confirm your information with this button. Innovator checks the information and produces an error message if applicable, e.g. "Password mismatch". If verification is successful, then the model is opened.

Logging into a Model in the Private Cloud

Context

There are various ways to open a model in the Private Cloud (Network of your Organization):

In the Recently Used backstage view in the Recently Used Models area.
In the Open & Log-in backstage view in the Private Cloud (Network of your Organization) area.

It takes some time for the Open dialog to open.

If you have more than one license, then you can click on to select the edition and the license to be checked out.

Select the user name and role. A password is managed to all users if necessary.

The User drop-down list contains all user names known in the model. Only the name of authorized users appear alongside the Model Administrator and Guest roles when using single sign-on.

The MID user configurations for the model templates included within the scope of delivery contain the following standard users:

The standard user Model Administrator has all rights for use and configuration of the model. Therefor he should always have a password.
The standard user Guest has only the "read-only right" and no further rights. He is the only user who can log-in to the model more than once. The read permission can be restricted by the model administrator.

As a guest you can read the model without the risk of changing something accidentally. You must select a different user to work in the model.

A Role also needs to be selected when a user is chosen. The standard users Model Administrator and Guest do not have roles.

If a login already exists or if the data is already set (e.g. from the list of last user logins), then the logged-in user and their roles are shown when opened. These cannot then be changed.

If the <Password> field is activated and a password was assigned for the user, then the password needs to be entered. You do not need to enter the password if you are already logged-in as another user or Guest or if you chose the authorized user when logging-in for single sign-on. An assigned password always needs to be given when logging in as Model Administrator.

Any obstacles that exist for login are shown below the login group.
