Introduction

You can check the Enable Custom User Logins setting in the Settings Dialog.  If this setting is enabled then you first need to login/register an account to make use of BrainStim the next time it starts. This options can be useful in situations where you want to be able to store custom BrainStim-user account settings separately while using the same Windows-user account. The same Settings File is used for all BrainStim-user accounts but all user specific individual settings are stored separately for each BrainStim-user account.

Example

Let's enable the Custom user logins in BrainStim.

  1. Enable the BrainStim setting Enable Custom User Logins, read this document on how to do this, close and open BrainStim again.
  2. Notice that a custom User Login dialog is shown allowing you to create a new account, skip or login using a previously created custom User login account. If you select Skip then the default (no custom user account) is used.
  3. Let's create a new account. Fill in a Username with a Password and hit the Login button. After this you'll see a message that inform you about the creation of the new account and that this account is now automatically used for the current login.
  4. Open the Settings Dialog and notice that all current custom user settings are cloned from the last configuration settings (where no custom account was used) when the new account was configured.
  5. Activate the Plugins tab and uncheck the Automatic EXML File Validation setting, click OK to close the Settings Dialog.
  6. Shutdown and restart BrainStim, and Skip the custom user account login feature this time.
  7. Open again the Settings Dialog and notice that the changed Automatic EXML File Validation setting is still enabled for the default configuration where no custom user account is used.
  8. Shutdown and restart BrainStim, and Login using the last created account.
  9. Open again the Settings Dialog and notice that the changed Automatic EXML File Validation setting is disabled for the configuration where the last created account is used.
  10. Disable the Enable Custom User Logins setting and the shutdown and restart BrainStim again and notice that this time no custom User Login dialog is shown.
