[Anjelica-W]

Overview

 This example adds an existing TestStand user to an existing User Group such as Administrator, Operator, or Technician.  This example also demonstrates how to generate a list of users and user groups using the TestStand API

Description

This example uses the TestStand API to add an existing user to a user group.  The example implements the following tasks

• Access the list of users and use groups using the Engine.UsersFile.UserList and Engine.UsersFile.UserGroupList.  These properties are arrays of PropertyObjects, and can be iterated using the GetPropertyObjectByOffset method
• Add the user to the group using Engine.GetUserGroup("group").Members.SetValStringByOffset(0,1,"UserName")
• Save the changes to the Users using Engine.UsersFile.AsPropertyObjectFile.WriteFile()
