Configuring RAPID Software
Single or Multi-user Setting
When RAPID is installed in a network environment, you can limit the access to RAPID to a group of
authorized users. The system administrator must first set up a network group with all the authorized
users. Once this is done, you must set up RAPID to enable only the users from this network group to
use RAPID.
To enable access to other RAPID users:
1. From the Home screen, select Tools > Settings.
The
Settings screen appears.
2. Under the General tab, in the Permissions section, check RAPID users must belong to this
network group: and type in the network group.
3. Click Apply to accept the new settings or click Cancel to close the Settings screen without making
any changes. Clicking OK will accept the new settings and close the Settings screen.
RAPID Workstation Configuration
The RAPID workstation configuration is a stand-alone configuration on a dedicated workstation that
cannot be connected to a network environment. The RAPID workstation supports multi-user
configuration. This allows you to control access to the workstation and to make sure that only
authorized personnel use the appropriate files on the workstation.
By default, the RAPID workstation is configured for a single user with the username rapid and a blank
password. You can continue to use the RAPID workstation this way, or you can use the multi-user
feature. To do so, the administrator (person who sets up and maintains your facility's PCs) creates
additional users, each with a unique username and password, and defines the appropriate access for
them.
