Setting up security for FactoryTalk system resources
FactoryTalk Security manages security for system resources including the FactoryTalk
Directory, the application, areas within the application and their contents, and the System
folder and its contents.
In FactoryTalk View Studio, set up user access to these resources by right-clicking their
folders or icons in the Explorer window, and then selecting Security. The following
illustration shows which resources you can secure in this way:
Modifying FactoryTalk Security settings
Use the Security Settings dialog box to add the users or groups of users that are to have
access to the resource, and then allow or deny permission to perform the actions that
define levels of access.
When setting up permissions for a networkdistributed application, you can associate users
and groups of users with specific computers or groups of computers.
This means you can determine not only who has access to system resources, but from
which computers.
Set up access to the
System folder, or any
of its subfolders.
In this way, you can
specify which users
can set up system
policies, or create
user and computer
accounts.
Set up access to
FactoryTalk Directory.
By default, the
application and the
System folder inherit
permissions set up at
the Directory.
Set up access to
areas in the
application.
HMI servers always
inherit permissions
set up for the parent
area. You cannot set
up access to an HMI
server separately.
Set up access to
the application.
