How EthoVision XT user management works

You can define a list of users that can access EthoVision XT. Furthermore, users can have different rights; these rights can only be assigned by a user with User Management rights in EthoVision XT.

Initially, after installation, only one user has access to EthoVision XT. Which user this is depends on how EthoVision XT was installed:

▪EthoVision XT came installed on a computer provided by Noldus Information Technology.

▪EthoVision XT was installed by the user.

EthoVision XT came installed on a computer

When you purchased both EthoVision XT and the EthoVision XT computer from Noldus Information Technology, EthoVision XT is already installed on that computer. In that case, a user account EVXT has been created to log on to Windows. This user EVXT, with administrator rights, initially is the only user who can access EthoVision XT on that computer.

Choose File > Users. User EVXT has, by default, the following rights: User Management and EthoVision Preferences.

 

Use EVXT to add new users and assign them rights.

▪Add a user

EthoVision XT was installed by user

When a user with administrator rights installed EthoVision XT, this user is automatically added to the list of users in the User Management window in EthoVision XT.

 

Also, a user EVXT is automatically added to the list of users. With this standard user EVXT, any administrator can at all times create a user account EVXT through which EthoVision XT can be accessed.

Next, either the user that installed EthoVision XT or user EVXT can add new users and assign them rights (see below).
