Creating a Default User and View

Administrators can set up a User account as the default log in for the
Remote display. The Administrator also defines the Locations avai lable
to view, and whether alarms can be acknowledged. The only viewLinc
window visible on the remote display is the Locations window.

To set up a User-assigned View for remote display:

1

Create a default User account:

a

In the System Configuration | Users window, create a new
User (for example, Remote Display User).

b

Do not assign the User to any Groups.

c

Do not assign any Rights to the User.

2

Assign User Access Control:

a

In the Locations Manager window, select the top level Zone you
want displayed on the terminal. Then, on the Location Prop-
erties | Access Control

tab, select Options | Add.

b

Identify the default User account, and assign required Per-
mission (if the terminal will only be used to view data, select
View

; if the terminal will be used to view and acknowledge

alarms, select Acknowledge Alarms).

c

To ensure the User has access to all inherited Locations, check
the option, All children inherit permission.

For complete instructions on how to create a viewLinc View, see “Setting
