Check the GmsDefaultUser Accounts for Closed Mode

The closed-mode service requires local Windows GmsDefaultUser accounts on the Desigo CC server station and on the client stations that will operate in closed mode.
If these Windows accounts do not yet exist, you can create them on each computer using SMC. The passwords of these Windows accounts must all be the same.

Closed mode also requires a Desigo CC GmsDefaultUser account in the project. This account is automatically created, but you need to check that its password matches that of the Windows accounts.

  1. On the Desigo CC server station, start SMC, select the System node, and in the Settings expander check the Closed mode user section.
    (In SMC System Settings, see Settings Expander.)
  • If the user does not yet exist, click Create, enter a password twice (note it down), and finally click Save . This creates the Windows GmsDefaultUser on this computer, and sets the same password in SMC.
  • If the user exists and the Password label is black, this means that the Windows GmsDefaultUser account exists on this computer, and its password correctly matches the one set in SMC.
  • If the user already exists but the Password label is red, this means that the password set in SMC does not match that of the Windows GmsDefaultUser on this computer.
    In SMC, enter the correct password of the Windows user. If you do not know it, see Align the GmsDefaultUser Passwords for Closed Mode.
  1. On each client station that you want to set in closed mode, start SMC, select the System node, and in the Settings expander check the Closed mode section:
  • If the user does not yet exist, click Create, enter twice the same password you used on the Desigo CC server station, and click Save . This creates a Windows GmsDefaultUser on this computer.
    If you do not know the password set on the server station, see Align the GmsDefaultUser Passwords for Closed Mode.
  • If the user already exists and the Password label is black, this means that the password of the Windows GmsDefaultUser on this computer correctly matches the one in SMC. They should also match the corresponding password on the server station.
    If you are not sure, see Align the GmsDefaultUser Passwords for Closed Mode.
  • If the user already exists but the Password label is red, it means the password of the Windows GmsDefaultUser on this computer does not match the one set in SMC. You need to enter in SMC the correct password of the Windows user on this computer.
    This password must also match the one used the password used on the server station. If you do not know it, see Align the GmsDefaultUser Passwords for Closed Mode.
  1. From any station, start the Desigo CC client application and switch it to Engineering mode. Then set the password for the GmsDefaultUser in Desigo CC as follows:
    a. In System Browser, select Management View.
    b. Select System Settings > Users.
    c. In the Users tab, select GmsDefaultUser.
    d.     In the Change Password expander, enter the same password that you used for the Windows GmsDefaultUser accounts and in SMC.
    e. Click Apply.
    If you do not know the password, see Align the GmsDefaultUser Passwords for Closed Mode.
