RSView32 User’s Guide
Security is based on a system of codes. Each code allows users with
security privileges for that code to access the RSView32 features
allowed by that code. Users can be assigned combinations of security
codes, allowing each user to access a different set of features.
Security function
The user_haspermission security function allows you to check
whether the current user has a specific security code. You can use this
function anywhere that expressions are used. For more information,
see Chapter 14, Creating expressions.
Electronic signatures
In addition to using security codes to limit access on a tag-by-tag or
command-by-command basis, you can use the electronic signature
button to keep track of who initiates actions such as writing tag values
and issuing commands. You can also require that the action is
approved by a pre-authorized verifier before the action is initiated.
The electronic signature button, together with other RSView32
security features, allows you to meet the security standards required
for regulated manufacturing applications, for example those required
for US Government 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
Security Monitor utility
Use the Security Monitor utility, included with the RSView32
Resource Kit
™
, to customize user access to objects on graphic
displays. With this utility, you can create a single set of graphic displays
for all users, but have some objects visible or operable for some users,
and not for others.
