Programatically Create Teststand User Group

[SteveBale]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble programatically creating a new teststand User Group. I wrote an application to allow creation/deletion of users and modification of privileges using LabVIEW a while ago. However, coming back to this code to add required group functions is proving problematic. I simply cannot find the equivalent of the NewUser() function etc for groups. I suspect to do create a new group I need to do something along the lines of:

IEngine.UsersFile.UserGroupList.InsertSubProperty ......

If anybody knows how to do this i'd really appreciate some pointing in the right direction.

Many Thanks,

Steve

You are on the right track.  User Groups are just User objects that are put in a certain place (UsersFIle.UserGroupList).  Create a User with the desired attributes for your user group.  Then, get the UserGroupList like you did below.  Then call SetPropertyObjectByOffset with the 0x1 option passing in the User you created for the Group.
