The following steps show configuring a single controller for security. When

managing large numbers of users and controllers, Rockwell Automation

recommends that you group users with user groups, group permissions with action

groups, and use the Resource Grouping method to secure your resources to

simplify administration of permissions. For details see the FactoryTalk Help.
Click the Start button, then click All Programs, then click Rockwell Software,
then click FactoryTalk Tools, and then start FactoryTalk Help.
