Calling Up and Activating User Management

MAXQDA supports teams working on projects with an optional user management system, in which you can set different rights for different groups of users.

Note: The admin system is not designed to ensure secure of your projects, just for working together in teams.

To activate user management, select Project > Activate user management from the menu.

Activating user management

The user who activates the user management will automatically become administrator and has to set a password for his user name.

Set admin password
Caution: Note your password carefully! Without this password, the MAXQDA project can no longer be opened.

Once the administrator has been established, user management can only be opened with a valid administrator name and password. The next time the project is opened a login window will appear and you'll be prompted for a valid user name and password.

Login window

In the default configuration, only administrators are able to open the user management, add users or change rights.
