Gaining initial access to a FactoryTalk system
When you install FactoryTalk View SE, during installation of the FactoryTalk Services
Platform, the Local Directory and the Network Directory are set up on the computer.
As part of directory configuration, these FactoryTalk user groups are created:
 Windows Administrators is a group linked to Windows users with administrative
privileges on the computer.
 Administrators is a group for FactoryTalk users with administrative privileges.
The following illustration shows where to find these groups in FactoryTalk View Studio.
By default, the Windows Administrators group belongs to the FactoryTalk system
Administrators group.
This means that Windows users with administrative privileges on the local computer have
full access to local and network applications, including the ability to set up security for the
FactoryTalk system.

During FactoryTalk Services Platform installation, an account named All Users is created
automatically, at the Local Directory and the Network Directory.

Both groups are created during FactoryTalk
Directory installation.
