How to protect process model being modified (using Teststand3.1)?

[jacky Wang]

I'm developing a custom Process model, and don't want to be modified by others. I know there's a password protection function in Teststand3.5 but not available in Teststand3.1. Is there any other methods to prevent my process model  being modified by others in Teststand3.1??

Thanks!

Protect from whom? Are you using the user manager and are you checking privileges? If you want to protect the process model fro other TestStand administrators, I'm not sure what you can do but the default privileges prevent operator and technicians from editing a sequence file or process model and if you can use the user manager to change the Developer profile Privileges>Configure>Edit Process Model to false.

Can you make the file read-only or remove write-privileges for everyone but yourself?

If you do this, you might also consider unchecking Configure>>Sequence Editor Options>>All Editing of Read-Only Files so it doesn't get edited in memory.

Sorry about my poor description.

Actually, I expect to have a passport protection of my process model and if somebody take and use it on the another computer, they only have the read right, no modification right.

Thanks!

As you stated, password protection for sequence files is a feature of TestStand 3.5.  I can't think of any reasonable way to simulate it in TestStand 3.1.
