Administrators interested in limiting user access to specific cases have options beyond case passwords. By both removing a user’s ability to select cases and placing a case specific Summation launching icon on their desktop, you can have one more level of access security.
Setting up this security feature involves several steps:
| A. |
Create Desktop Shortcut files. |
| B. |
Place the appropriate Shortcut files on user desktops. |
| C. |
Disable the "Open" option from the "Case" menu for non-administrator users. |
A. Create Desktop Shortcut File(s)
- Run Summation Blaze.
- Select Open from the Case menu to bring up the Case Selection dialog.
- At the Case Selection dialog, click to select the name of the case to which you want to create a shortcut.
- Once the case name is selected, right click on it.
- From the context menu that appears, select "Shortcut". A shortcut to this case is copied to your Windows desktop. The next time you want to access this case, simply double click on the shortcut. (You do not need to run Summation first – the shortcut does it for you.) This step creates 2 files: 1) an .LNK (shortcut) file in the C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP directory
with the case name and 2) an .SSF file in the Summation program directory with the case's database name. Repeat steps 3-5 for each case to which you want to create a shortcut.
B. Place the Appropriate Shortcut files on User Desktops
- Copy the Desktop Shortcuts files and .SSF files to a network location accessible by all users.
- Change each Desktop Shortcut's properties so that the "Target Location" correctly points to the .SSF file on the network drive and directory you copied it to in step 1.
- Copy the desired case shortcuts into each user's C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP directory (or drag them directly to the desktop), leaving the .SSF files on the server.
- Place any user restrictions desired on either the network files or file directories (such as "read-only" and/or "hidden" on the .SSF files).
| C. |
Disable the "Open" Option from the "Case" Menu for Non-administrator Users |
- Open the Summation program directory’s SWADMIN.INI file, and edit the default ADMIN status setting so that it reads:
DefaultAdmin=0
- Further down in the SWADMIN.INI file set the SelectCases setting to zero:
SelectCases=0
- Save and close the SWADMIN.INI file.
(Additional information regarding the SWADMIN.INI settings is available from Summation’s Technical Support department.)
