Configuring for security-enabled RSLogix family software
If FactoryTalk Security is enabled in your RSLogix family software (Logix Designer,
RSLogix 5000, RSLogix 500, or RSLogix 5), you must configure the Disaster Recovery
agent and FactoryTalk Security to grant the necessary permissions for Disaster Recovery
operations. FactoryTalk Security is always enabled in RSLogix 5000 version 20 and
Logix Designer version 21 or later.
These instructions assume that the FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent software has been
installed and that all RSLogix family software packages that will be used in the system are
also installed on each agent computer.
 To configure the Disaster Recovery agent and FactoryTalk Security in a Windows
domain, follow instructions in “If operating in a Windows domain” on page 62.
 To configure the Disaster Recovery agent and FactoryTalk Security in a Windows
workgroup, follow instructions in “If operating in a Windows workgroup” on page 63.
If operating in a Windows domain

AssetCentre AgentController service to run as. This is generally performed by
someone in your Information Technology department. This account must be used
exclusively for the service, not by users.
