Use security with your application
FactoryTalk View and FactoryTalk Security work together to provide secure access to
applications during development and at run time. FactoryTalk Security is installed as part
of the FactoryTalk Services Platform, and uses FactoryTalk Directory to manage user
accounts and policies.
FactoryTalk Security applies to all applications and all Rockwell Automation products
installed on the development or run-time computer. For example, when you add a
FactoryTalk Security user, the user is then available to add to any FactoryTalk View
application.
You can use a combination of FactoryTalk Security and FactoryTalk View security
features at run time to:
Prevent unauthorized users from running the application.
Prevent users from opening graphic displays.
Prevent unauthorized users from stopping the application.
Prevent users from seeing and using certain parts of a graphic display.
Prevent users from switching to other applications. This feature uses the DeskLock
tool, and is available for personal computers only. You can use this tool to set up a
customized desktop and to prevent access to Windows functions. For more
information about the DeskLock tool, see Chapter 15. The DeskLock tool does not use
FactoryTalk Security.
