AdminClient

AdminClient enables you to manage the entire octoplant system. The AdminClient is available on all computers installed with octoplant. This provides you with an easy access to administrative functions at all times. If you have enabled access to at least one module, users without administrator rights can also access AdminClient.

Particular features of the AdminClient

The start screen of the AdminClient consists of a menu bar on the left side with general functions and 10 modules containing functions on a specific topic. For example, in the module User management, you can create users, assign and manage rights and synchronize users.

Menu bar

Using the menu bar, you can log off or close the AdminClient, display the octoplant help as well as further information about octoplant. The following functions are also available here:

• Licensing: activating octoplant, showing licensing information, updating license.
• INI files can be edited and additional settings can be added.
• Support packet can be produced to enable AUVESY-MDT support to assist you.

Modules

You can execute these functions in the individual modules:

• Jobs: secure devices (create, configure and execute jobs)
• Component type editor: create, change and delete component types
• User management: create users and groups, bestowing rights and synchronization
• Script management: create and manage scripts
• Global settings: configure the server

Set timeout for individual modules

You can define a timeout in the module Global settings -> Clients. This will indicate after how many minutes without user activity the modules of the AdminClient are to be automatically closed, thereby being released for other users. None saved changes will be lost.
