The Security > Logon menu selection is available only when you are not currently
logged into FactoryTalk Transaction Manager. After logging on, you can log out at
any time by selecting Security > Logoff or by canceling the Log on to FactoryTalk
dialog box at FactoryTalk Transaction Manager startup.
Since FactoryTalk Transaction Manager severs all ties with the machine-wide SSO
at startup, selecting Security > Logon does to recognize the current SSO user (if
logged on). Additionally, selecting Security > Logoff does not log off the
machine-wide SSO user.

Writing Product-Specific Security Privileges From a
Previous Release To a File
Prior to FactoryTalk Transaction Manager v9.00.00, the software used its
own security mechanism to secure configurations. If you used this
product-specific security implementation to secure your configurations in a
previous release, you can now use a utility to write your previous
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager security settings to a file.
