The data processor allows access from multiple users, each of which can be assigned a different set of privileges permitting or restricting access to the unit.
The first step to managing users is to create one or more profiles. Profiles define what privileges can be assigned to users. For example, one profile named Test Author might provide access to the Test configuration and Test and data control areas of the interface and another named Operator might allow only controlling test runs from the Test Control page. Each profile can be assigned to multiple users. In the previous example, there might be one test author and four operators, each with their own user account and credentials.
In addition, each user has individual control over the web interface through User preferences which follow the user no matter the machine or browser used to log on. Select User options > Preferences to view User Preferences.
Navigate to the Profiles page under System Configuration.
To create a profile, click New. Enter the profile name, select the desired privileges and click
Save.
Navigate to the Users page under System Configuration.
To add a new user, click New. Enter the desired values for the user parameters and click
Save.

If an administrator's credentials are lost or forgotten, there is a reset procedure that restores the default user and profile. No other users or profiles are affected. To perform the reset:
If user control is not needed, deselect the Authentication required option in User section of the System preferencesscreenshot)
