Chapter 5 Access Rights 5.1 Access RightsOverview
To prevent accidental changing of settings when using FDT to pr ogram devices (especially in a multi-user
environment), the Access Rights feature allows creation of usernames and passwords to give different
levels of access to different users. Typically, there would be three levels of access rights:
Administrator level which allows the user to create and modify user accounts
Supervisor level which allows project creation and editing
SIM User level which allows a Simple Interface Mode user the right only to program the device image
from Simple Interface Mode. A supervisor would need to configure the project before a SIM User could
use FDT.
5.2 Enabling Access Rights
FDT is supplied by default with the user accounts specified above but without passwords set. You will not
need to log in to FDT until the Access Rights feature i s enabled by setting the password for the built in
Administrator account. This is achieved by using the ‘Tools’, ‘Access Rights’, ‘Administration...’ menu
item. The first time this is run, you will be prompted to enter a password for the Administrator account.
5.3 Access Rights Administration
This is reached via the ‘Tools’, ‘Access Rights’, ‘Administration...’ menu item.
