Adding users to the FactoryTalk Directory

A user must have a FactoryTalk Directory user account in order to use FactoryTalk
AssetCentre Machine Edition.

By default, all members of the Administrators group on the computer were added to the
Administrators group in the FactoryTalk Directory when you installed FactoryTalk
Services Platform. Any rights that you assign to a Windows User Group are assigned to
all members of that group.

To add a user to the FactoryTalk Directory:

1. Start the FactoryTalk Administration Console (click Start > All Programs >

Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Administration Console).

2. Log on to the Network directory using a FactoryTalk Administrator account.

3. Open the Users and Groups folder.

4. Under the Users and Groups folder, right-click the Users folder, and then select New.

This section contains only basic instructions for using the FactoryTalk Directory and FactoryTalk
Security. For background information and information regarding more advanced procedures,
please see the online help for the FactoryTalk Administration Console.
