Configuring General Settings

You can configure general settings.

  1. Click Configuration, then the General tab.
  2. In the General configuration section, set the Default language from the choices available in the pull-down menu.

    This language will be used in the user interface for any user who has not chosen a language in the menu of the 3DPassport login page, or using the Me > Preferences menu of 3DEXPERIENCE web apps and if the browser language is undefined or not supported. It will be also used to send emails to these users.

    The default is English.

  3. Click Authorize remember me if needed.

    When users connect to the 3DPassport service by entering the service URL, the login dialog box lets them enter them credentials and also contains the Remember me option which, when selected, remembers the last logon credentials and allows users to access the 3DEXPERIENCE platform directly, until the sign out.

    This option is enabled by default. If you do not want users to access the 3DEXPERIENCE platform directly without providing their credentials, unselect the Authorize remember me check box.

    Disabling this feature affects only new users who log on. Users that were already logged in using the Remember me option stay logged in for the duration of the session or until they log off. After that, they will no longer be able to benefit from the Remember me option.

    Note: The Remember me option works in the web browser, and in the native app if you launch it from the 3DCompass. However, if you launch native app as standalone app from the desktop shortcut and not from 3DCompass, you will have to provide credentials again.

  4. Click Force username to lowercase if needed.

    This option forces the user's login (username) to lowercase when it is stored in the local database and retrieved by other applications. To activate or deactivate this feature, check or uncheck the box. This setting will already be checked by default if you selected the Force lowercase users' login option during 3DPassport installation.

  5. Click Allow user with support role to grant the same role to other users and Allow user with support role to disable Two-factor authentication to other users

    • the Administrator role gives the user full access to the administration tools
    • the Support role gives the user limited access to the administration tools.

    This option, available to only the Administrator role, allows a user with the Support role to grant the same role to other users, since it can be useful to share the same limited rights with other users.

    If not activated, any user with the Support role can only view, but not edit roles, and can only access logs and the search user views using the 3DPassport administration tools.

    Administrator Support
    Can grant admin role YES NO
    Can grant support role YES

    If authorized.

    User with Support role cannot assign Support role to an administrator.

    To grant administrator or support access, click Audit, then the User tab, search for a user then click the Security tab.

    For more information, see Searching and Deleting Users.

  6. In the Account configuration section, you can choose to allow normal and/or admins users to reset their passwords:

    When the option is enabled, corresponding users can reset or update their password. When disabled, the link and service to reset or update the password will be hidden in the GUI

  7. Click Authorize the creation of new accounts if required.

    When enabled, users can create new accounts. When disabled, the link and the service to create new accounts will be hidden from the GUI.

  8. Click Apply to save your changes.
