Overview of the user management

The security system is used to manage users and their access rights. The features available from the HMI and the project at any time will depend on the access rights of the current user.

The HMI security system is based on a user and profile scheme.

  • A Profile contains a list of access rights selected from a number of categories.

  • A User is given a name and password and allocated one or more profiles.

A user logs on to the system by entering a name and password in a special dialog. Only one user may be logged on at any time.

As part of the security configuration you can create a default user which supplies the access rights when no other user is logged on.
