4.1 HMI User configuration
The Entellisys HMI requires a login name and password. This login sets the permissible actions
for the session. Each user's permissions are programmable to provide flexibility. Only the
Administrator can set permissions, login names, and passwords.
Since the HMI stores the user profiles locally, for systems with multiple HMIs, an individual user
profile must be configured at each HMI.
Guest Login is the lowest level of access to the HMI and will assume the guest permissions at
anytime a user has logged out. Guest is allowed “view only” access to all system status and
breaker settings screens.
CAUTION: Enabling Group Permissions for features that allow the changing of settings and/or
access to control functions must be restricted to accounts for qualified personnel only. As a
reminder, users with such privileges will be presented with the following screen upon initial login:

Auto Logout
If the HMI is configured to logout a user after 30 or 60 minutes, the HMI will return to the default
screen and login as a “guest” (Allowing view only access to the system). To configure or disable
the auto logout, navigate to User Settings, then HMI Preferences and click on the General tab.
