Configuring FactoryTalk Security with Logix Designer application Chapter 2
Important: Security settings can be applied to a Logical Name. The Logical Name is
the same as the Name shown on the Controller Properties dialog box.
Security settings for a Logical Name apply to the offline project, as well as
when the project is downloaded to the controller.
You can configure security on a Logical Name associated to a particular
device, and Logic Names can also be associated to an Application or Area
in the FactoryTalk Explorer window. Security applied to an Application or
Area is inherited by any Logical Names associated with that Application or
Area. You right click an Application or Area and use the Resource Editor
to associate Logical Names to that Application or Area.
You can also configure security at the Networks and Devices level in the
Explorer window by right clicking and selecting Security. Security
settings configured at the Networks and Devices level are inherited by all
devices located under Networks and Devices. You can configure security at
the top-most node in the Explorer window, and all Applications, Areas,
and devices inherit these permissions.
Tip: • The controller in the Network and Devices tree also displays the controller
name property next to the controller resource.
• If the name does not appear in the Network and Devices tree, open RSLinx
Classic and go to the controller resource with RSWho. Navigating to the
resource in RSLinx Classic updates the controller path information in RSLinx
Classic. FactoryTalk Administration Console uses the controller path
information from RSLinx Classic to display controllers. Once the path
information is updated in RSLinx Classic, open the FactoryTalk Administration
Console and right-click Network and Devices tree and then click Refresh.
7. Click OK to continue.
8. Individual user or groups rights will still need to be configured to control
access to secured controllers.
To configure Security, right click the Network, Networks and Devices,
Application, Area, or the particular device on which you wish to configure
security, then click Security.
