12.2 Setting Access
Typing S" for Set Access from the Connect menu shown in figure
12.1 allows you to set various levels of access to the tasks in the rack.
If the keyswitch on the rack power supply is in any position other
than PROGRAM, setting any level of access has no effect because
the keyswitch has already set a lower level of privileged access. See
section 9.2 for more information on security access levels.
If the keyswitch in not in the PROGRAM position, or if you do not
have the required access level, the options available to you from the
ON LINE menu shown in figure 11.1 are limited to monitoring
variables.
If the keyswitch is in the PROGRAM position and you try to load, run
or stop tasks, set or force variables, or do online editing of tasks
without first entering the password, you will be prompted for the
password. If you do not enter the password, you will be unable to
execute these functions.
Entering the password gives you DATA access, which limits you to
modifying COMMON variables. When you try to execute a function
which requires a higher level of access, AutoMax will automatically
grant the required level of access if it is available. Table 12.1 shows
the levels of access available to you based on your current level of
access and the access levels of other users connected to the rack.
DATA access and RACK access are set by executing the Set Access
function with no task selected. TASK access is set by executing the
Set Access function with a specific task selected. For example, if you
have no access when you select the Set Access function, and you
have no task selected, AutoMax will request the password. If you
enter the password and no other user has access to the rack, you will
be asked if you want RACK access. If you respond Y" (Yes), no
other user will be able to obtain access to the tasks in the rack. If you
respond N" (No), AutoMax will ask you if you want access to all
tasks.
