When you check in files or modify projects, the built-in SCC system uses your LabVIEW user name to access the SCC system. It is important that the user name be unique among the development team. The SCC system does not check for a password, so it is possible for users to check files in or out as another developer if you do not use unique names. The built-in SCC system relies on a certain degree of trust. If you require additional security, you should consider purchasing a third-party SCC system.
Complete the following steps to change your user name.

Note By default, LabVIEW automatically logs in with the system user name. Refer to Setting Revision History Options for all New VIs for more information about prompting the user for their user name when they launch LabVIEW. |
