About FactoryTalk Security accounts
Every user and group of users requiring access to any secured part of a FactoryTalk
View SE application, must have an account set up at the Network Directory or Local
Directory that manages the application.
For a network distributed application, you can also set up accounts for computers, or
groups of computers, in the application.
Since user and computer accounts are stored at the FactoryTalk Directory, the accounts
you create for a FactoryTalk View SE application are available to any FactoryTalk product
using the same directory.
FactoryTalk Security settings are stored separately for a Local Directory and a Network
Directory, even if both are in use on the same computer.
This means that you must set up security permissions twice—once for the Local Directory
and once for the Network Directory—to give one user access to a local and a
networkdistributed application on the same computer.
