your drive application. Please ensure that external emergency stop functions are effective, according to the safety
regulations and requirements of your drive application.
Modules Area

Level for access. With a higher user level, you can also editing the Module Tree.
Content Area
Clicking on a module symbol in the modules area will open a detailed view of this module or a specific function (e.g. “CAN Monitor”) in
the content area . The content area allows docking and stacking of several module views. When saving a project, the layout of the
content area is remembered and restored when re-opening the project.
5.3 User Level
User levels can be used in Kickstart projects to limit access to modules that are not needed for standard operation, or that need to be used
with extra precautions.
The password protection is not intended to prohibit access to certain users, but rather as an indication that you are now operating on a more
advanced level. The default user levels and passwords are:
User Level Password
0 – Monitoring –
1 – Running –
2 – Running With Precaution expert
NOTICe
Different versions of the Kickstart software may use different user levels and passwords.
WARNING
The highest User level tasks can require additional expert knowledge about the controlled devices, or could possibly
render a device unusable or cause other damage.

steps:

• You can edit the .kickpro file with a standard text editor or an appropriate XML editor. Look for the userLevel = "..." attributes and change
