To provide a way for users to log in
1. Specify the startup display in the Startup editor, in the Initial graphic box. The
startup display is the graphic display that opens when your application starts running.
The startup display must have the * code or a security code that is assigned to the
DEFAULT user, or it will not open.
For information about the Startup editor, see Chapter 14.
2. Create a Login button in the startup display.
For information about creating graphic objects, see Chapter 20. For information about
setting up Login buttons, see Help.
For more information about logging in, see Chapter 17.
Log out
To best maintain your security system, set up your application so that users who log in are
also required to log out.
When the current user logs out, if a logout macro is assigned to the user, the macro runs. If
the user belongs to a group, and a logout macro is set up for the group, the group’s logout
macro runs.
After the current user is logged out, the DEFAULT user is logged in. If a login macro is
assigned to the DEFAULT user, the macro runs. Turn off the DEFAULT user’s access to
the security codes you plan to use.
To provide a way for users to log out
 Create a Logout button in a graphic display that all logged-in users have access to.
Log out automatically
You can set up your run-time terminal so that the current user will be logged out
automatically after the terminal has been inactive for a specified period of time. The
automatic logout is independent of FactoryTalk Security settings or Windows security
settings. The logout will take place regardless of what you set up in FactoryTalk Security
or Windows.
To set up automatic logout
1. In the Explorer window, double-click Project Settings, and then click the Runtime
tab.
2. Select Enable auto logout.
