BridgeVIEW Security
BridgeVIEW security is broken into two general categories:
• Environment Security (User Privileges)
• Operator Interface Security
Security does not take effect until you configure it. Configuration consists
of adding users and assigning them access levels, privileges, and
passwords.
Environment Security
Access to most BridgeVIEW utilities and the BridgeVIEW Engine can be
configured on a per-user basis. For example, not all users should be able to
configure the tags in the system or create and edit user accounts. The
privileges that can be assigned to a user are defined in Table 7-1.
