Users and Groups
The dialog
Users
and
Groups
is provided in a dialogue guide
Device
. It allows you to configure user
and group accounts that, together with the management of access rights control access to objects in
the PLC in online mode.
Common
For some functions of a controller that can be performed only by authorized users, uses the
Online
User Management
. This option provides the ability to define user accounts, assign access rights for
groups and force the user authentication at login.
The specific user management device can be pre-defined by the description of this. Also depends on
the device description which settings can be edited in the configuration dialogs in programmer.
Just as the project user management, users must be members of groups and user groups can only get
certain access rights.
Using the Configuration Dialog
Basically, the treatment of online user management dialog is similar to the design of user
management. There is the possibility of "importing" user accounts settings from the project user
management.
