The system administrator can control the module and the licensed user options; for example, some users may not be allowed to borrow Vectorworks, or may only borrow it for shorter periods of time than other users. The administrator can also set report log and debug log file options.
If there are many users that will not be allowed to borrow the software, instead of excluding each one, use INCLUDEALL_ROAM to allow only specific users to borrow.
To specify and edit the module, user, or log file options:
From the main Server Administration screen, click Status.
The server status pane displays.
In the Options column of the ISV Servers table, click vektorwrx.
The Edit ISV Options screen opens.
Using the syntax described in Server Syntax, specify or edit the user options.
In the syntax and examples, user, host, internet, group, host_group, and internet_group can be specified interchangeably when setting up permissions for a client or groups of clients.
