User administration
The permissions of
users in the database are set
via user groups or roles in the
database and via the access to the projects.
To set permissions
choose Administration -
User ... from
the menu. A window will open as
shown below. Here, among other
administration tasks, you may change the permissions
of the users. The first list shows
the user accounts which are available in the
database but have no access to any
of the projects. To synchronize this list
with the DiversityWorkbench module
DiversityUsers click on the 
Synchronise

with access to the database or allow an
existing user the access to the
database use the Microsoft SQL Server
Management Studio (see the installation section
for further details). To permit
access to a project click on
the > button. To remove
a user from
this list use the <
button.
If the database provides a
link to the module DivesityAgents,
a corresponding field will appear below the user list.

control will change as shown
below.
If you wish to remove the
