For example, in a graphic display, include a button that has the Login command as the
press action. When the current user clicks the button, the FactoryTalk View SE Client
Login dialog box will open.
To log on a different user
 In the FactoryTalk View SE Client Login dialog box, type the user name and password
of the user that wants to log on, and then click OK.
Logging off the current user at run time
To allow the current FactoryTalk View SE Client user to log off from the client at run
time, provide a way to run the Logout command.
For example, in a graphic display, include a button that has the Logout command as the
press action. When the current user logs off, the following events occur:
1. All currently running displays close.
2. The current user’s logout macro runs, and the user is logged off.
For information about user macros, see “Specifying login and logout macros” on
page 5-15.
3. If the FactoryTalk View SE Client is using an activation key, the key is released and
made available for other clients to use.
4. The FactoryTalk View SE Client Login dialog box opens, to let another user log on.
Changing the current user’s password at run time
To allow the current FactoryTalk View SE Client client user to change their password at
run time, provide them with a way to run the Password command.
For example, in a graphic display, include a button that has the Password command as the
press action. When the current user clicks the button, the Change Password dialog box
opens.
If single sign-on is enabled, changing the FactoryTalk View SE Client user does not change the
FactoryTalk Directory user. To change the current directory user, you must use the Log On to
FactoryTalk tool. For details, see “Logging on to the FactoryTalk Directory” on page 5-4.
FactoryTalk user accounts that have the same name, whether the accounts are in the current
domain or from another domain, must log in using the syntax domain\user name.
You can set up the FactoryTalk View SE Client to log off the current user automatically, after a
period of inactivity. For details, click Help in the FactoryTalk View SE Client Wizard.
