This icon is used to create and manage the various users of the Gateway, as
well as the access rights granted to them. Real names may also be given,
which allows the security logger to record not only what data was changed
and when, but also by whom the data was changed. The rights required to
modify a particular tag, or to access a page, are set via the security

properties of the individual item.

dialog will appear…

The dialog lists the models supported by the current version of the software, providing a
description of each terminal and the dimensions of its display. Selecting a terminal will create

model.
