Overview
The RuntimeUsers allows to extend the Users with authorization to access the Solution when it is running, dynamically extending the list of the Solution users.

Understanding RuntimeUsers
The combination of the Runtime Users and the ones defined at the SecurityUsers table are called Solution Users.
The main difference between the two is that engineering users can access the software's engineering mode, allowing them to design and configure the project. In contrast, runtime users only can use the application, they cannot change the project configuration or design since they don't have access to the engineering mode.
Another distinction is that the regular Users are defined within the Solution file itself, as the Runtime Users are defined in external Security Servers or databases.
The RuntimeUsers can be enabled from the following sources:
- Creating RuntimeUsers with Scripts, using the Security namespace
- From External SQL databases (As defined in the Dataset.DB.RuntimeUsers connections(
- Integration with AD or LDAP server
RuntimeUsers SQL Table
At Security → RuntimeUsers, you can access the contents of the RuntimeUsers defined on the external SQL database.
That database is defined by the configuration of the object Dataset.DB.RuntimeUsers.
When the solution is created, by default that table is created using a SQLite database.
This tables is Read-Only for the Designer, to modify the list of Users, with you modify the source Database directly, or use Script CreateUser methods.

LastBlockedUserUTC_Ticks | Displays the timestamp in UTC ticks when the runtime user was last blocked, as logged in the system. |
RuntimeUsers from AD or LDAP
The RuntimeUsers that can access the Solution based on AD/LDAP validation will not shown on the RuntimeUsers Database, they are created directly in memory, when the Solution is running, as the definition of those usernames and permissions is holder by the external security servers.
For Information to use AD/LDAP go to Windows AD / LDAP Server
