using). Under System in the Explorer pane, right-click Networks and Devices and

Verification Agent service and edit its properties to log on as the account created
above.

5. Open the FactoryTalk Administration Console and add the new Windows user

account created above as a new Windows-linked user.

Set up RSLogix software permissions.

1. In the FactoryTalk Administration Console, create a new user group called “Local

Agent Users.” Add each of the new FactoryTalk users created in step 5 above to the
Local Agent Users group. This will facilitate making security settings because you
will be able to set them once for the whole group, rather than for each user.

2. Grant the Local Agent Users group read access to the FactoryTalk Directory. To do
