The User Account Dialog<\/strong> is used to manage all the User Accounts (NTRIP Client<\/a> accounts) you allow to access your NTRIP Caster.\u00a0\u00a0 Unless you are running your Caster in an open mode<\/a>, then every device that connects the Caster must<\/strong> have an active user account to connect and get base station data.<\/p>\n

This article discusses how to use the User Accounts dialog to manage your users.\u00a0\u00a0 You can add new users and set-up various usage restrictions<\/a>, all of which is discussed in this article<\/a>. \u00a0 If the Advanced User Management<\/strong><\/em> Plug-In is present, each User Account can (optionally) be “owned” by a Customer Account <\/strong>you create, which is described further in this article<\/a>.\u00a0 Finally, a summary of all the active connected users is displayed by using the Connected Users Dialog<\/strong>, see this article<\/a> for details. [If you are using the Web-API<\/a> you can also see connected users over a web interface<\/a>, as well as perform many common management functions to add\/remove\/edit User Accounts]<\/p>\n

You can open this dialog by clicking on Edit Users<\/strong> from the Caster and Clients tab<\/a>, or with the menu command Setup<\/strong> \u21d2 Manage User Accounts…<\/strong><\/p>\n

This dialog can be divided into three primary sections, the controls in each are discussed in more depth below.<\/p>\n

The top section<\/strong> shows various global settings for user access, visual controls regarding how the users are displayed in the table, and two buttons for import<\/em> and export<\/em> of the user accounts<\/a>.\u00a0 The normal “i-button<\/strong>” for information and help with this dialog is also present and will display this knowledge base page from the SNIP<\/strong><\/span> Caster in the document viewer<\/a> when clicked.<\/p>\n

The middle section<\/strong> shows all the user accounts with various details in a table.\u00a0 These can also be sorted by clicking in the column headers.\u00a0 Various tool-tips provide more details for each entry.<\/p>\n

The bottom section<\/strong> contains buttons which are used to manage the display and to add or edit specific selected user accounts.<\/p>\n

The top section<\/h3>\n

The left section contains three check boxes that control how users and other parties will access your Caster.<\/p>\n

The most import of these is the checkbox labeled:
\nAllow Anonymous Access for Users (no user account required)<\/strong><\/p>\n
