Apollo Rel. 1.9 User's Manual
12.8.1 Defining accessGroups
The AccessGroups and the assigned members are configured in the file AccessGroups.ini. This file is located in
the subfolder ServerData in the ApolloProject folder.
The subfolder ServerData and a sample AccessGroups.ini file is created by quitting the
Settings Dialog with OK. Then the AccessGroups.ini file can be edited and customized. The
modifications will be valid after an additional launching of Apollo Settings.
To add a new user to an AccessGroup, proceed as follows:
Add an additional line at the end of the specific AccessGroup
Assign the new user by means of his network name to a new UserName (the UserName have to be counted in
ascending order, e.g. for AccessGroup2 a new user is assigned to UserName8)
To add a new AccessGroup, proceed as follows:
add the desired AccessGroup (e.g. [AccessGroup3]) at the bottom of the AccessGroups.ini file
enter a name for this AccessGroup, the DefaultPermission (cf. DefaultPermission), and a Description
assign the first member of this new AccessGroup to UserName1.
When defining a new AccessGroup or adding a new user to an existing one, mind the
correct syntax as given in the existing AccessGroups / user assignment.
To activate the modifications made in the AccessGroup.ini file:
Select Start|Programs|Barco Apollo|Settings. Make sure that the checkbox Activate Apollo is checked and click
OK. Apollo will be terminated and restarted with the updated AccessGroups.
