TPP Login Credentials

[Simon Michnowicz]

Dear Group,
I log in as the default user 'guest', but wonder how to add other
users. How do you do this?
Does the TPP file browsing mechanism allow different users to see each
other's results?
Thanks

Hi Simon,

The easiest way to add users to Petunia is the following:

- Go to the directory where the user account info is stored; under Windows it is:  C:\Inetpub/tpp-bin\users\
- There should be a 'guest' folder; copy the entire folder (and contents) into another folder one, and name it as the new user you'd like to add (e.g.  "simon")
- The new user should now be able to log in with the 'guest' password; instruct him/her to use the utility within Petunia to change their password.
- You can also disable the 'guest' account by deleting this directory altogether (or renaming it something obscure, or changing its password, etc...)

The TPP at the moment does allow you to view results from other users; it would be simple to add the restriction to only allow viewing of that user's directory.  (Though more complicated to have a set of shared dirs -- dbases? -- and some private, which is the main reason I have not implemented this.)

Hope this helps!
