Access Control and User Management
The FDT Standard defines four access levels and two attributes for FDT Con-
tainer applications, which can be used to restrict access to the program or
certain features thereof for unauthorized personnel. The actual use of the
restrictions also depends on the application.
CX-Profibus implements the four levels as well as one of the attributes. These
levels are listed below.
• Observer
• Operator
• Maintenance
• Planning Engineer
• Administrator
The access rights per level are defined in the table below.
