User Management in EA 6.5

[bluesky]

My company has been using EA for a while.The EA projects are stored in SQL server database and all the users connect to the database using the same username and password.

WE are thinking about separate logins to the project  rather than everyone sharing the same user name and password. I have several questions about the EA user management.

1) Is the user management a module selling separately? When I select the Project/Security/'Enable Security' menu, it asks me for a authoriztion key.

2) Is this security module what I want or is there any other EA feature for user managment that I am not aware of?

Thanks

Try doing a search in the forum for enable security.  You'll find a thread that explains about the authorization key is.

Once you have enabled security with the authorisation key as Simon has mentioned, you can setup windows integrated authentication.

All this means - is you name your user IDs as:
domain\userid

within the EA user list.  Passwords don't matter.  Check the WIA checkbox.  Then, when you open your project (database) within EA - it will check if the currently logged in user matches one in the list.  IF so - you are logged in under your own ID (no prompting for user / password).  We have users from multiple Windows domains logging in to the same project without a problem.

HTH,
David.
