Documentation Notes, Errata

The following general purpose guidelines should be used to override potential conflicts in this documentation. If documentation appears to be out of sync, use these general rules to resolve conflicts, if possible.

  1. In all cases throughout this documentation, if a username "nobody" has not been changed, "nobody" should have been changed to "Unknown User"
  2. In all cases, if a user_id of 0 or 1 is referred to, this was intended to refer to the users Administrator and Unknown User, respectively
  3. If multiple users are going to access a database, then user accounts are required, which implies that security must be enabled
    1. The definition has been changed so that the system is now either in (a) single-user mode, or (b) multi-user mode.
    2. If the system is in multiuser mode, security is required, and user accounts are required.
    3. If the system is in single user mode, security is turned off, and users do not see the login window.
  4. Administrators can only manage user accounts, group accounts, and clear job locks. They specifically cannot edit jobs.
  5. Users can have multiple ACME Editors ("sessions") open at one time on a PC.
    1. Each session can be connected to a different database, if desired.
  6. There is no longer a concept of an "inactive" user account. Any references to an inactive user account, deactivating users, or reactivating users are incorrect.
