Hi Arvydas

We use NIS accounts.

Create a single Windows account (admin rights) shared by all users. Then in the options you can create 1 NIS user accounts with common rights per user (don't forget to create 1 admin account for yourself and 1 for Nikon). You can set the common rights to what you want (not being able to modify the shared configs for example). Each user will get their private configurations. BEWARE: the first time you create a configuration in a new user account, it will be set to reloading the objective as well. All you need to do is untick the objective reload in the first config and the following one will have it unticked.

You then have access to all sorts of usage statistics per user.

Hope that helps

Med vänlig hälsning / Best regards
 
Sylvie
