Access Levels
When you first open an Adept DeskTop session, you are prompted for a Access Level (user name) and
password as show in
Figure 6 .
What Are Access Levels?
An Access Level is a set of parameters that define user access to Adept DeskTop controls, utilities and
functionality. An Access Level includes a name, a password, and permissions. Permissions for controls
and utilities can be set as Full, Read-Only, or Hidden.
Only a system administrator can change and create passwords, and create and modify Access Levels. A
system administrator logs in at the Level 1 access level.
• The Level1 access level cannot be deleted.
• It is strongly recommended that on the first Adept DeskTop session, the system
administrator create a password through the Access Level Manager.
• Once additional levels have been set by the Administrator, subsequent Adept DeskTop
sessions will display the Access Level of the user of the previous Adept DeskTop session.

DeskTop software for a new password.
