To turn on user management
After you have configured user management (see To configure user management), you can turn it on.
1. On the NextGENe main menu, click Help > User Management > Manage Settings.
The User Management Settings dialog box opens. The General tab is the open tab.
2. Leave Service host set to localhost.
3. Do one of the following:
• If you are using only NextGENe (and not Geneticist Assistant), then select Turn on user management.
Remember last user becomes available.
• If you are using both NextGENe and Geneticist Assistant, and you want the same users for both applications, then select Use GA Configuration.
4. Leave Remember last user selected, or optionally, clear it.
 | If Remember last user is selected, then when a user logs into NextGENe, the Username field on the Login dialog box is automatically populated with the user name for the user who last logged into NextGENe. |
5. Click OK.
The Administrator Verification dialog box opens. The dialog box indicates that Administrator verification is required to apply the changes.
6. In the Username field, leave the Administrator username as-is, or optionally, modify the name as needed.
7. In the Password field, enter the password for the Administrator user.
8. Click OK.
A message opens, indicating that to apply the changes that NextGENe must be closed and reopened and asking you if you want to close NextGENe now.
9. Click Yes.
The message closes.
10. Start NextGENe.
The Login dialog box opens.
11. Enter the Administrator username and password, and then click OK.
The Login dialog box closes. The NextGENe Project Wizard opens automatically in the NextGENe main window. Now, every time a user opens NextGENe, they are prompted to enter a username and password before they can use the application.
| | If you are the Administrator user, you should now continue to setting up the needed groups and users for your NextGENe instance. See Managing Groups in NextGENe and Managing Users in NextGENe. |
