Common user management for ibaPDA and ibaHD-Server

The user management system of ibaPDA and ibaHD-Server allows different user accounts to be created for use of each program.

A distinction is made between local users and domain users.

Both user types can be managed via the user management.

As the program ibaPDA client is used for both ibaPDA and ibaHD-Server, the user management for both programs is possible in the User management dialog of ibaPDA client. Some differences exist with regard to the program-specific permissions.

In ibaPDA client, you can access the User management dialog either

  • by choosing Configure - User management… menu or

  • via the shortcut <Ctrl>+< U>.

For ibaHD-Server, there is the additional user management option in the ibaHD Manager program.
ibaPDA-specific user management
