CHAPTER 4
BASIC FEATURES
This chapter contains information for configuring the application.
User Roles
General
Vaisala Observation Display supports two separate user roles:
administrator and observer.
A user logged in as administrator can change all configuration settings
and use all functions in the application. The administrator role is
password-protected.
When the user is logged in as observer, the configuration settings cannot
be modified. Normally, users log in as observers because configuration
settings do not need to be modified after the initial installation.
Current user role is shown on the status bar at the lower right corner of
the main display.
Note that these user roles are internal to the Observation Display and are
not in any way related to the operating system user accounts.
Logging in as Observer
The observer role is activated by default at startup. To switch back from
administrator into the observer role without restarting the application,
select "Logout as administrator" from the System menu.
