5.3 Setting Security Levels by Panel Type for Networked Users

If your company is using a database on a networked drive and you want to allow users to be

able to set security levels for control panels, you must copy the control panel definition files

to each workstation on the network. This preserves the security settings you have set for each

control panel type on the individual workstations on the network.

Use the following steps to transfer your security settings to other PCs on the network:

1. From RPS, set the security levels for each control panel type on any one PC on the

network. Only users with an authority level of 15 can perform this operation.

Refer to the RPS General Help in RPS for more information on setting security levels in

RPS.

2. Use Windows Explorer to copy the appropriate control panel definition files (peg defs) to

each PC on the network after you set the security level for each field in each panel type.

To do this, open the RPS directory on the PC where you are currently working. Find the

folder labeled PegDefs.

3. Use Windows Explorer to copy the PegDefs folder to each of the RPS directories on all

workstations running RPS. Use the drag-and-drop feature in Windows to move the

PegDefs folder to each PC on the network. Click and hold the PegDefs folder with the

right mouse button and drag the folder to the RPS directory on the target workstation

PC. Release the right mouse button. A small dialog opens and asks if you want to Move,

Copy, Create a Shortcut to the folder or Cancel

4. After Windows finishes the copy process, the workstation has the same security settings

as the original PC. Repeat Step 3 for each workstation on the network.

NOTICE!

If these files are not copied to each workstation, users on other workstations can change data

for control panel types that you restricted.

NOTICE!

Setting the security levels for a control panel type sets the levels for all accounts for that

control panel type (new and existing).

NOTICE!

Ensure that you select Copy. Selecting Move moves the entire PegDefs folder from the

current PC to the workstation PC. Click Yes if the File Already Exists - Do you want to

overwrite? message appears.

NOTICE!

Moving the PegDefs folder prevents RPS from working on the current PC. If you accidentally

move the PegDefs folder, return it to the RPS directory on the PC, and then recopy it to the

workstation.

NOTICE!

If you change the control panel security setting in the future, you must copy the new PegDefs

files to each workstation again.
