This documentation refers to PhraseExpress v18 beta. The documentation for the production version 17 is available here.
Restrict access to settings
Access to the settings can be restricted in the following ways to prevent unintentional configuration changes by inexperienced users:
- Launch the PhraseExpress client with the command-line parameter -nosettings.
- Write-protect the PhraseExpress configuration file config.xml .
When using PhraseExpress with an SQL server:
In register "Monitor" of the PhraseExpress SQL Client Manager, remove the checkmark in the “C” column for the users who should not have access to the settings.
In the PhraseExpress SQL Client Manager, designate one user as the settings master.
When using phrase synchronization:
In the user list, choose a user who will centrally define the settings.
