What is a local user and how is it linked to my mozaWeb account?

What is a local user?

mozaBook allows multiple users to use the software on the same computer (e.g. several teachers in one classroom). The drawings, notes, presentations and content created and inserted into the software will always be saved to the account of the active local user, so these will only be visible to that particular user. It is, therefore, necessary for the program to be able to identify local users.

The local user serves to log in to mozaBook, as well as to separate and protect the custom content of mozaBook users.

If you are the only person using the software on your computer and you feel it is unnecessary to have a password to protect the content you created in mozaBook, activate the automatic login on the login screen (1). From the next time you start the software, you will no longer be asked to enter your login data.

How is the mozaWeb account linked to the local user account?

Your mozaWeb account identifies you in our system. The permissions set for your account determine what content you can access on mozaWeb and in the mozaBook software. The books you purchase, the exercise books you create and the saved states of tools are all linked to your mozaWeb account.

When adding a new account, mozaBook automatically creates a local user on your computer, which is linked to your mozaWeb account. This way, we can synchronise the content available for you and provide you access to them on mozaWeb or any other computer that has mozaBook installed.

You have to set a password for your local user as well, which can differ from the one you use for your mozaWeb account. This password will be valid only on that particular computer. However, you can also use your mozaWeb account password to log in. You can check/modify the local user account information by clicking on the gear icon (2). Here, you can set a new password, link the local user to another mozaWeb account, modify your avatar or even delete the local user.
