Security functions

These functions are used to manage users and groups in the project’s security system.

  • BlockUser
    BlockUser is a built-in scripting function that blocks an existing user from logging onto a project. This allows you to disable a user account without deleting it.
  • CheckESign
    CheckESign is a built-in function that prompts the run-time user to electronically sign an event by entering their username and password.
