Duplicate command

What do you need to duplicate a user?

User duplication becomes very useful when you need to create many users with the same user interfaces. It is also useful if you need to make several changes to the user interface or to the credentials. This allows you to save time during design and, consequently, increase customer satisfaction with better performance.

How do I duplicate an existing user?

Step 1: To duplicate an existing user, go to the project main menu, item Users.

Select the user you want to duplicate (current user) and then select the “Edit” command.

Step 2:

Once the “User management” panel is open, select the “Duplicate” command at the bottom of the window.

Step 3:

Click Users in the menu bar: you will find a new user, for example “user(1)”.

Select the duplicated user you want to edit, then click the “Edit” command.

Step 4:1. Apply the changes to the user and / or to the interface settings, 2. Confirm the changes by clicking OK.

Step 5:

By opening the user list from the main menu bar (Users), you can see the duplicated user with the applied changes.

Admin duplication: WARNING!

Duplicating the Admin user is possible. However, keep in mind that the duplicated user will have the same credentials and the same permissions as the original. For this reason, it is very important to change the credentials of the duplicated user (for example “admin(1)”) and make the necessary changes.

Linked command

The Linked command lets you create a new user who cannot modify the user interface from the Ilevia Manager configuration software. The interface shown when connecting with the Ilevia Control app is that of the source user, i.e. the user from which it was created.

Step 1:

Select the user to which you want to apply the Link by choosing it from the user list in the Users menu.

Step 2:

Access the user settings by clicking Edit user in the Users menu.

Step 3:

Now click Linked; this will close the user window. When you open the Users menu, you can see that a new user has been created.

Step 4:

Once the user has been created, you can access it and apply changes to the credentials.

Step 5:

By selecting the new linked user, you will notice that the User Interface option is not available. In the images below, you can compare the configuration options of the source user (in the example “Alain”) and the Linked user. The user created via Linked cannot access the user interface editor.

Step 6:

When you log in to the Ilevia Control app with the Linked user, the user interface has the same structure as the source user (in the example “Alain”).
