Broadcast
permissions
INFO
Create the same permissions on all the connected controllers. If a controller must have different permission settings, do not
broadcast these settings.
Each
user
is a member of a
group
. The
group
gives the
user
permissions to associated features or functions of the controller.
When a
user
is assigned to a
group
, they inherit the permissions for that
group
.
In the following diagram, you can see the permissions that
User 1
and
User 2
have to the controller. Both
User 1
and
User 2
are
members of a basic permission group, and they inherit the permissions from that specific group.

User 2
In the diagram,
User 1
and
User 2
are members of the
Basic group
. They have read access to the
Alarms
, and
Log
, but they have
no access to the
Tools
or
Configure
functions.
Permissions access enables you to easily control which user can access which function. This provides a layer of control for the
operation of the controller.
