To limit the users who have access to the application or parts of the application, you must
set up user accounts and passwords.
If you do not create additional FactoryTalk View user accounts
FactoryTalk View creates a user named DEFAULT, and this user is automatically logged
in when you start applications at run time. You do not need to set up any other users, and
users do not need to log in to use the applications you create.
If you use FactoryTalk View user accounts
If you want to use FactoryTalk View user accounts, for example, to run login and logout
macros, follow these steps.
1. Add users or user groups to FactoryTalk Security. For details, see page 11-25.
2. Add the FactoryTalk Security users or user groups to the FactoryTalk View Runtime
Security editor. For details, see page 11-7.
3. In the FactoryTalk View Runtime Security editor, if desired, assign login and logout
macros and security codes to users or user groups. For details, see Help for the editor.
4. In the Graphics editor, assign security codes to graphic displays that will have limited
access. An alternative is to use object animation to control visibility based on the
logged in user’s FactoryTalk View Runtime Security security codes.
5. Provide users with a method for logging in and out.
These steps are described in detail in this chapter.
Summary of steps
Follow these steps to set up security using FactoryTalk Security and FactoryTalk View
security features:
1. In the Explorer window, in the System folder underneath the HMI server, add
FactoryTalk Security user groups and users, and set up their passwords.
You can also add users and groups in the Runtime Security editor, in the ME
Runtime 4.00 and later tab, as described on page 11-7.
If you set up the data source to open graphic displays remotely (using global connections),
remote display changes occur whether or not the logged-in user has security access to a given
display.
For details about controlling display changes remotely, see page 8-4.
The Authenticated User group is not supported on Windows CE. On Windows CE terminals,
Windows-linked users must be added to FactoryTalk Directory before they can be logged in.
