Change model Dialog

The dialog enables selection of the model. user and role to log-in to the selected model. A password may also need to be entered for successful login.

Logging-In to Another Model

Context

If required, change the sorting criteria for the model list and constrain the list by entering a text pattern.

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

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

The MID user configurations for the model templates included within the scope of delivery contain the following default 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 default users Model Administrator and Guest do not have roles.

If a user is already logged-in, then the user who is logged-in and their role is shown when opening. 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.

Following successful login as a normal user, the model is added to the list of most recently used models (Recently Used backstage view).
