Figure 1: Manage Users Form
Notice that Login text field, User Type combo box, New, Add, Delete and Refresh buttons are disabled. The reason is that this snapshot has been taken when a regular user (not administrator) was logged on to this application. In other words, if a normal user enters into MonitorWare Console application he can only update his status (except for login and user type). On the other hand, if the user enters into this application as an administrator, then he has the full control on all the users. He can create a new user, delete an existing user or update an existing user.
