VISION Learning Station users who make courses and events need to have VISION Developer user accounts. Here are several ways to ensure that your employee's VLS user accounts are matched up to their VDM User Accounts.
Step 1: See who has a VDM User Account
Start by finding out which users already have a VDM user account associated with their VLS user account.
Follow these steps to generate a VLS Users to VDM Users report:
1.On the Main Menu, click on Reports.
2.Select the Personnel tab.
3.Select an Organization from the drop down menu.
4.Select the VLS Users to VDM Users and click the View Report button to generate your report.
5.You can use the Export button to open the file in PDF, Excel, or some other formats.
Remember that this report only shows you users who's accounts are already connected. It is possible that more VLS users have VDM accounts that are not linked to their VLS accounts. If you think that some users have VDM accounts that haven't been linked yet, skip to Step 3: Associate User Accounts before creating new ones. You can always repeat that step again later.
Step 2: Create VDM User Accounts
Note that this procedure must be done in VISION Developer's Security module. Not all users will have the ability to make new user accounts. The Security program is explained in detail in the Security section of the VISION Developer Help.
1.In VISION Security, on the Users tab, click the New User button.
2.Fill in the User Info. Login Name, First Name, Last Name are required.
3.Check the appropriate privileges from the "User Privileges and Restrictions" box.
4.Click the Save button.
5.Next click on the Projects tab. Make sure you also have the Access sub-tab open on the right side of the window.
6.Ensure that you have the correct Security Profile (built on the Security Profiles tab) ready before you begin the next step.
7.Under the Projects list, select the project(s) that the user will have access to.
8.Under the Users tab, select the user name.
9.Under the "Assign project access (Security Profile) for selected users" which will be highlighted in yellow, select the profile. Note that you can do this for multiple users and multiple projects at the same time, or for each user or project individually.
Step 3: Associate User Accounts
Follow these steps to associate existing VDM accounts with their corresponding VLS users:
1.Navigate to Utilities on the Main Menu and select the VLS User to VDM User Association Utility.
2.You can use the filter to see users with a specific security role.
3.Under, "VLS Users without an associated developer account", select a user and click on their radio button.
4.select their VDM account from the "VDM Developer Name" drop-down menu.
5.When you are done associating user accounts, click the Save Changes button.
