8 SECURITY 8.1USER ACCOUNTS 8.1.1 OVERVIEW
The EnerVista security management system is a role-based access control (RBAC) system that allows an administrator to
manage the privileges of multiple users. This allows for access control of UR devices by multiple personnel within a substa-
tion and conforms to the principles of RBAC as defined in ANSI INCITS 359-2004. The EnerVista security management
system is disabled by default to allow the administrator direct access to the EnerVista software after installation. It is recom-
mended that security be enabled before placing the device in service.
8.1.2 ENABLING THE SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The EnerVista security management system is disabled by default. This allows access to the device immediately after
installation. When security is disabled, all users are granted administrator access.
To enable the security system and require password use:
1. Select the Security > User Management menu item to open the user management window.
2. Check the Enable Security box in the lower-left corner to enable the security management system.
Security is now enabled for the EnerVista UR Setup software. Upon starting the software, users are now required to enter a
username and password.
8.1.3 ADDING A NEW USER

To add user accounts:
1. Select the Security > User Management menu item to open the user management window.
2. Enter a username in the User field. The username must be 4 to 20 characters in length.
