make Guest Login the Default

[richjoh]

Instead of Administrator being default Login, I want to use make Guest the default login. Is there a property or menu selection to do this in TestStand 2016 or later?

I'm not sure what you mean by default login.  Are you saying that you want it to be first in the dropdown, or rather the selected option in the dropdown?

TestStand saves the last user in StationGlobals.TS.LastUserName.  I've noticed that the value in there will always show up highlighted in the next time you log in.  So if you've logged in as the administrator then the next person to go log in will see that as the highlighted value.

Hope this helps,

To build on this a little bit, you might be able to change the FrontEndCallbacks.seq.  If someone closes TestStand or logs out, that callback is always run and you could change StationGlobals.TS.LastUserName to be your desired user.

OK, Front-End Callbacks are one way I assume to make this happen. 

I was wondering why Alt View "User Manager" (Ctrl+U) is grayed out. It appears it can be done this way also. It persist even though I login with Administrator (no password).

OK I discovered it grayed (disabled) out for the company PC, the stand-alone its not grayed out.

I don't see Guest in the User Manager List though... there are other names defaulted.
