Creating computer accounts for network applications
For FactoryTalk View SE network applications, in addition to specifying which users
have access to system resources, you can specify the computers where they have access.
You do this by creating computer accounts, and then associating the user accounts with a
computer or group of computers, when you set up security permissions.
If you do not want to associate user accounts with specific computers, you can use the All
Computers account when setting up permissions. This account is created automatically at
the Network Directory.
In FactoryTalk View Studio, create computer accounts in the System folder, in the
Computers and Groups folder.
The following illustration shows where to find this folder in the Explorer window.
Windows-linked accounts refer to existing Windows accounts. If you want to create a new
Windows user or group, you must do so in Windows. For details, see Windows help.
The Computers and Groups folder does not exist for a local station application. You cannot
create computer accounts for applications that are confined to a single computer.
