The ToolsTalk 2 name of the user group

Description

Optional information field.

AD group

Active Directory group name, created by the IT department. Contains individual users who must have the user rights to access the ToolsTalk 2 server.

Enabled Yes/No

Valid only for super administrator credentials.

This function disables the user groups during a downgrade instead of deleting them.

  • Set Enabled to No before downgrading ToolsTalk2.

  • Set Enabled to Yes after upgrading ToolsTalk2 and the license is in place. This starts the client for those specific users in that group, with same permissions set as before the downgrade.

if the Enabled is not set to Yes after the upgrade, the client will not start for those specific users in that group and a warning "'You do not have access to the application" is displayed.
