A prerequisite is that at least one Sedona user and Sedona user role has been created under the station’s SedonaUserManager (SedonaUserManagementService). See Creating and modifying Sedona users and roles.
Once Sedona users and roles exist in the station, you can map them in combinations to Sedona devices networked under any Sedona network in the station (SedonaNetwork, SedonaJen6lpNetwork). You do this using the available Sedona Device User Manager view on each Sedona network, with operations described as follows.
Accessing and using the network’s Sedona Device User Manager
Right-click the Sedona network (in the Nav tree or in its property sheet) and select
-> .All networked Sedona devices are listed as root elements in a “tree table”, where initially no device has any users (with user roles) assigned to it, similar as to shown above.
Map users to devices by right-clicking on any selected node in the tree table for various menu options.
Unsaved changes appear as red nodes in the tree table—note the button becomes available.
Right-click menus vary by selected tree node. As shown above, right-clicking a device shows a menu with Edit Users, but if right-clicking a saved user, a Modify Roles option appears (see below).
If right-clicking a role, only a Delete menu option appears (not shown here).
Various other right-click menu options can be used when mapping users and user roles to devices in this view, which operates differently than most Workbench manager views.
Remember to when done making changes in this view. Back to Mapping users and roles to networked Sedona devices.
Adding users and roles to a Sedona device
In the network’s Sedona Device User Manager, right-click a device and select Edit Users
(or with a device selected, click the edit user tool on the toolbar).
As shown above, a popup dialog lists all available user in rows, and all available roles as columns. Initially, no users have roles assigned, except for the current “device superuser” (fixed).
Click in cells to select (or toggle/deselect) roles for users.
Note that role permissions are “OR’ed” together, that is they accumulate. As shown above, the two users AnitaL and ScottF are being given permissions for two roles.
Click
to close the dialog and accept the changes.Note changes are still uncommitted—click the button in the view to commit.
As shown above, when you expand users under the device you see their assigned roles, including the corresponding permission bits for the component groups 1-4 and provisioning permissions.

Copying Sedona users from device to device
In the network’s Sedona Device User Manager, right-click a user and select Copy
(or Ctrl-click to select multiple users, then right-click to select Copy, or select the tool on the toolbar).
As shown above, two users have been selected and copied.
Right-click the target device, and select Paste.
Now the user(s) copied are under the target device (in this case, device Annex_E).
Note changes are still uncommitted—click the button in the view to commit.
Back to Mapping users and roles to networked Sedona devices.
Copying Sedona users as an overwrite (Paste Special)
Sometimes you may want to replace the current Sedona user configuration in selected device(s) with the user(s) currently copied. You can do this using the Paste Special menu option on the target device(s). It is equivalent to deleting all current users in the device(s), then adding the copied users.
In the network’s Sedona Device User Manager, right-click a user and select Copy
(or Ctrl-click to select multiple users, then right-click to select Copy, or select the tool on the toolbar).
As shown above, two users have been selected and copied.
Right-click the target device or devices, and select Paste Special.
A popup confirmation dialog appears, warning that all current user configuration will be overwritten.
Click
to accept (or else to cancel).Note changes are still uncommitted—click the button in the view to commit.
Back to Mapping users and roles to networked Sedona devices.
Cloning users and roles to all devices
Sometimes you may want the identical user and role configuration in all networked devices. You can do this by configuring one device, then selecting the Clone to all menu option. It is equivalent to deleting all users in all other devices, then adding the users and roles in the selected device.
Even if not the final user configuration, it may be a starting point to further tweak users and roles in other devices as needed (for example to selectively delete users or roles, or to specify additional users and roles).
In the network’s Sedona Device User Manager, expand a device and all its users to see all roles.
Verify this is the user configuration you want in all networked devices. If needed, make any changes.
Right-click the device and select Clone to all (or with the device selected, click the clone to all tool on the toolbar).
A popup confirmation “Clone DeviceName
” dialog appears, warning that the current user configuration in all other devices will be overwritten.
Click
to accept (or else to cancel).The figure above shows changes now marked in the other networked devices.
Note changes are still uncommitted—click the button in the view to commit.
Back to Mapping users and roles to networked Sedona devices.
Deleting users and roles
Working in the tree table of the Sedona Device User Manager view, you can selectively delete users and user roles from devices.
To delete a user, right-click and select Delete from the menu, or Ctrl-click to select multiple users and then right-click and select Delete.
The selected user(s) are removed from the tree and the device appears red (to indicate change).
Note changes are still uncommitted—click the button in the view to commit.
To delete a role, expand a user under a device and right-click a role and select Delete from the menu, or Ctrl-click to select multiple roles and then right-click and select Delete.
The selected role(s) are removed from the tree and the user appears red (to indicate change).
Again, note changes are still uncommitted—click the button in the view to commit.
