Changing the Sedona super user in all devices

This is an online function only. Note the following prerequisites:

To change the Sedona device super user for all networked Sedona devices

  1. Ensure the station has a SedonaUserManager (SedonaUserManagementService) in its Services container.

    • If present, go to Step 2.

    • If not present, open the sedonanet palette and drag the SedonaUserManager into the station’s Services container (no further configuration is necessary).

  2. Right-click the Sedona network and select Views->Sedona Device User Manager.

  3. In the Sedona Device User Manager view, click the Change Super User button.



  4. In the Change super user popup dialog (above), enter the name and password for the super user.

    NoteUser name must be from 1 to 7 alphanumeric characters, is case-sensitive, and must begin with a letter and have no spaces or punctuation, apart from underscore (_).

  5. Click OK. A “Change Superuser” job is initiated, with a progress bar at the top of the view. The job completes showing either “Success” or “Failed”.



    Click the details button for a popup Job Log dialog, as shown above.

How it works: After the new super user is added to a device, the old super user is deleted from the device and the device’s app is saved. The “Credentials” properties for each Sedona device component in the network is automatically updated with the new super user name and password.

NoteIf this function fails for a device for some reason, it is logged in the job log, and the next device is tried. Therefore, the super user for the maximum number of devices is updated.
