1.13 Passwords¶

Three different passwords can be set for a project.

Open — if this password is set, it requires the password to be entered every time the project is opened.
Edit — if this password is set, the project will be opened in read-only mode and can only be edited if the edit password is entered.
Download — if this password is set, the configuration can only be downloaded if this password is specified.
