Manager-specific privilege information can be viewed using the Write
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager-specific security privileges to file
tool (page 169), and then you can use that data to establish similar
permissions in the FactoryTalk Administration Console.
 FactoryTalk Security is set in the FactoryTalk Directory. Therefore, if
you move a configuration from one FactoryTalk Directory to another
FactoryTalk Directory, your FactoryTalk Security permissions will not
be maintained.
 If an administrator changes your individual security permissions in the
FactoryTalk Administration Console or if your user permissions to a
computer are altered, FactoryTalk Transaction Manager will reflect
those changes (in FactoryTalk Transaction Manager, select Security >
Permissions to launch the FactoryTalk Security Permissions dialog
box) without requiring you to log off and log on to FactoryTalk
Security. However, if an administrator makes changes in the
FactoryTalk Administration Console to a group membership (in which
you are a member), you must log off and log on again to FactoryTalk
Security for those permission changes to be enforced.
 FactoryTalk Transaction Manager also includes a Security menu that
allows you to log on and log off from FactoryTalk Security from within
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager, as well as check the current user's
permissions.
 If you select Security > Permissions in FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager, you can view current user permission information. The
permission types that can appear are "Read" "Write" or "Start, Stop,
and Assemble Configurations" (page 169).
 If you want to share configuration tasks across multiple computers, the
FactoryTalk Directory servers on all of the computers must match. For
example, if the FactoryTalk Directory server and the FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager Configuration Server are on your computer
(computer A) and you want to communicate to another computer
