Editing user

To edit a user, select it from the network list on the Network tab. Then right click the mouse and from the displayed context menu select Properties..., or from the main menu select Network Properties... or click the button on the toolbar of the Network tab. A user's dialogue box will be displayed on the screen.

The dialogue box includes the General tab with a general user's data, the Licence tab with a list of available applications and Agent Setup, which enables Agent setup. The rules for assigning the licence have been discussed in the chapter titled Managing software, and the Agent's configuration has been described in Configuring Agent.

The Name field includes a descriptive name of a user, which is displayed in the network list. You can change this name. It can be any string of maximum 64 characters. There is no requirement for the name to be unique, however to for the sake of transparency and order names should not be duplicated within one network or group.

From the Group drop-down list you can select a group, which a user is to belong to. If the list does not include the appropriate group, you can add a new one by clicking .

In the Connect using... frame options defining the manner of connecting with Agent are comprised.

You should select the Computer is not connected to network field, only when you want to use a computer (user) which is not connected to the network or a computer without Agent installed on it. This information is required in the process of reading software audit results, which was performed using an external file scanner.

In IP address fields you should enter IP address of a computer user. After each three digit address section the cursor moves to a subsequent edit field. If a computer’s name has been specified in the DNS name, IP address is entered automatically when you click the Get from DNS button.

If IP addresses are assigned dynamically (DHCP), to “become resistant” to any changes of addresses you should use option which enables to identify a computer on the basis of its name. To do so, select the DNS name field and enter a name of a computer. If an IP address is known, the name can be automatically entered by clicking Get from IP..

The Access code field includes a password which is used for authorising a connection with an Agent which has been installed on a user’s computer and is a protection against an unauthorised access to data. The access code has to be consistent with the one specified while installing an Agent. It can consist of maximum 32 characters including letters and digits. It is case sensitive, however. Note!!! An adjustment made to an access code is saved only in a database and it is not transferred automatically to Agent. To change passwords both for uplook and an Agent, you have to change an access code remotely.

Other fields are informative and they are filled in only, if at least a single connection with an Agent was established.

ID is Agent's unique code and it is used to identify it unambiguously, even if an IP address of a user’s computer has been changed
Host is a name of a user's computer.
System specifies Windows system version, which has been installed on a user's computer.
Date of last audit specifies when the last software audit was performed.

To accept data of a new user and to close the dialogue box, click OK. It is possible to accept the data, not closing the window, if you click the Apply button. The Cancel button closes the widow, but no data is saved (if Apply has not been clicked before).
