Database Administration – Adding Users and Privileges

March 30, 2021 Heather Volk

Fabrication can add different users with set permissions and privileges. This is a great option for keeping all users from being able to delete or change the database.

Steps:

Go to Start Menu > Fabrication CADmep (Year) Folder > Configure Users
Select the correct database.
A pop up that says “Cannot Run User Manager: This program is not for single-user installations. Click ok.

Go in Fabrication Database Folder: This PC > C: drive > Users > Public > Public Documents > Autodesk > Fabrication (Year) > Imperial Content > V3.06 > Database
Create a folder named Users
Go back to Start Menu > Fabrication CADmep (Year) Folder > Configure Users
Select the correct database
A new pop up will appear with a login screen:

Type in the default Username and Password for the admin.

User: Administrator

Password: admin

Configure Privileges and permissions for your users. The first screen will show users, ID’s, privileges and if it is a single user or not.

Create, Edit or Delete:

Create New:

Click on “User” > “New” and fill in information:

User type = Log in name

Password = If necessary

(If you do not want a password leave it blank)

Option to enforce single log in and/ or create admin account.

Then filter and sort what the user can and cannot do.

Edit Users:

Double click on the user you want to edit and make changes then click ok.

Delete Users:

Right click on the user and select “delete”.
