"Empty database" installation: cannot access the "User" class from GUI

Old Versions
#1

When installing CMDBuild, I choosed the "Empty" database installation variant. The installation went Ok. Now I want to make some changes to the 'User' class, but the "Classes" pane is empty.

If I choose the 'Demo' type installation, I can see the 'User' class and other built-in classes though.

Regards,

Vladimir

If
you install CMDBuild with the “Empty” option you will have an
application without already configured classes, and therefore without
classes in the Menu (so this is not shown).
In this case you
will then need to create your data model from the Administration
Module, then configure an appropriate menu from the Administration
Module and then you can populate the data from the Management Module.
Instead if you install CMDBuild with the “Demo” option, you will have an
application with some sample classes already created and populated with
some data.

I advise you to consult the Overview Manual, the Administrator Manual and the User Manual available here:

Hi Tecnoteca,
the 'User' class already exist in the DB. How can I make this class visible in the Administration Module?

I just made the class visible in GUI by changing the 'User' DB table comment from:
  MODE: reserved|TYPE: class|DESCR: Users|SUPERCLASS: false|STATUS: active
to
  MODE: sysread|TYPE: class|DESCR: Users|SUPERCLASS: false|STATUS: active
Not sure if this is a valid operation.
Regards,
Vladimir

The “User” class must be managed by the menu item “Users and Group” => “Users” of the Administration Module.

If you do not see this function there is some other problem, we do not recommend modifying the class metadata.

The "User" class cannot be managed with the "Users and Groups", only class instances can.

I suggest you fill out the application form on the project website to access the online demo, and see how it works in a standard installation.

I've already done this, and I was able to install the 'Demo' database locally either. I need to build my solution from the 'Empty' base since I do not need most of the demo classes.
