2.10.5.1.2 User Password
The Password text entry box follows the Username text entry box. The password can have a maximum of
seven ASCII characters, and defaults to the first seven characters of the username. To change the pass-
word, click the associated entry box, use
B
ACKSPACE
to erase the default password, and enter the desired
ASCII string. The password cannot contain spaces.
Unsuccessful user login attempts will cause a System Event message to be generated. This message will
be displayed in the System Event display area of the Mini-Alarm Window and stored in the Event Historian.
The message will include the time and date, the node name, and a message in the following format:
User
where:
is the name of the user currently logged in,
is the identity of the Micro-PWC on which the attempt is made, and
is the login name of the unsuccessful user.
For example, if the user fred attempted to log in using an incorrect password at a Micro-PWC where the
Default Login state existed, the following message would appear:
16:42:43 10-JUL-05 CON1 User Default Invalid Login Attempt on
Terminal CON1:0 fred
These messages are Micro-PWC Event messages and can be filtered using the Message Filter Parame-
ter, as described in
Section 2.8.4, Message Routing
.
2.10.5.1.3 User Access Level
Access Levels (previously discussed in
Section 2.10.2.1, Default Login Access Level
) are assigned to both
login accounts (including the Default Login account) and functions. To access a function, the Access Level
of a user’s login account must be equal to or higher than the Access Level assigned to the function. Func-
tion Access Levels are configured using the Function Access option (refer to
) on the security menu.
New logins default to Operator Level 1, the lowest of the nine Access Levels on the Micro-PWC. The but-
ton labelled Access Level, located below the Password entry box on the User Login window, displays the
current Access Level on the button’s face.
