Log in as an authorized user
To change certain settings, you must log in as an authorized user. There are three user roles:
System Administrator, Key Operator and Power User. They have authorization to edit specific
groups of settings. You do not need to log in before you start a session. The system will only
display a login screen when you want to perform a special action.
IMPORTANT
It is possible to disable the local accounts in WebTools Express in the [Security] - [Configuration]
- [User access configuration] section and enable network authentication instead. When network
authentication is enabled, the AD user names are mapped on the user roles (System
administrator, Key operator, or Power user). When logged in with the AD credentials the user is
authorized to change all the settings in WebTools Express that correspond with his user role,
without having to log in again.
For more information about network authentication refer to the PlotWave-ColorWave Systems
Security - Administration guide on

.
Upon login
NOTE
• Once you have logged in, the log in lasts for the duration of the browser session. If you have
not been active for more than 30 minutes, the session expires and you need to login again.
• For security reasons it is advised to periodically change the password of the three access
modes (Key operator, System administrator, Power user).
For local accounts you can do this in WebTools Express.
When network authentication is enabled, this is handled by the IT password policy.
Procedure
1. Click on the value of the setting you want to edit. A login window opens.
2. Select a user role from the drop-down list.
3. Enter the password.
4. Click [Ok] to confirm your entry.
