Administering Server Options

The server options administration form is accessible via the main menu. Select Admin->Server Options. This menu item may be disabled for users that do not have administrative permissions.


Server Options Overview

Currently, the server options dialog only includes basic settings that control globally where attachments will be saved and how new user registrations will be handled.


Attachments

Attachments are handled by copying the file from the user's computer to a file server. The File Server Path determines where the files will be copied. This path should include the file name and directory where attachments should be stored. (e.g. \\server_name\speed_test\attachments) Please note that users must have permission to access this file server or they will not be able to attach files to test cases. Contact your network administrator if you are unsure how to set this up.


New Users

These two options control how new user registration is handled. Checking the 'Auto-Activate New Users' checkbox will cause the system to immediately allow them to log in under the newly created user name, with the permissions of the default role. By default, this role is set to Web Only, meaning that the user can only view reports via the web interface and will not be able to log into the dektop application.


Permissions

Only users with the proper permissions may administer the server options. Depending on the assigned role, one or more of the icons may be disabled.
