PCM600 Getting Started Guide

The user authentication can be enabled or disabled in Tools > Options > Security settings. When the user authentication is disabled, all the users get full rights to operate.

The authentication method can be defined to be PCM600 authentication or Windows authentication. The Windows authentication uses the current user's Windows account to determine if the user is allowed to log in to PCM600. The PCM600 authentication uses user name and password specified in the user management of PCM600.

Create a new user to PCM600 and define the user information.

  • User name (mandatory)
  • Real name of the user
  • User category
Note: The Windows account can be used to log in automatically. Multiple Windows account names can be used for a single PCM600 account. The Windows account names are separated by a semicolon (;). These Windows account names are only used for login, if the administrator has enabled the Windows authentication.
  1. On the menu bar, click Tools and select Options to start the user management.
  2. Select the User Manager folder.
