How Do You Export Users to Another Computer on the Network?
You can put BridgeVIEW user accounts on other computers either by
exporting the user list to a text or binary file on one machine and importing
on another, or by choosing File»Export»Network BridgeVIEW.
If you choose the File»Export»Network BridgeVIEW option, a dialog
box appears in which you can type in the name of the computer to export
the accounts to, or you can browse the network. BridgeVIEW must be
installed on the other computer for the export to function correctly.
Note (Windows 95) To access the user account list on another computer over the netw ork,
you must have access to the Windows Registry on the remote machine. Remote
Registry access does not function unless the Remote Administration service is
installed and running on the Windows 95 machine attempting to accessanother
computer’s BridgeVIEW account list, or whose account list is to be accessed by
another computer. Consult your Windows95 documentation to determine if
Remote Administration is enabled, and how to install it if it is not. This service is
automatically available in Windows NT.
How Do You Import a List of Users from a File?
You can import users into your BridgeVIEW system from a tab-delimited
or comma-delimited text file, or from a binary file created by BridgeVIEW.
To import a list of users from a text file, click the Import User List…
button, or select File»Import»Text File….
When importing from a text file, the first column should contain the user
name, the second column the access level, and the third column a list of
privileges enabled for the user. The privileges enabled for a user are
separated by semicolons. Here is a list of privileges, and the abbreviation
that must be used to enable the privilege for a user.
