Use Operating System Mode Security

When you use Operating System mode security, you can select from a list of configured users on the system.

For Operating System mode, a domain or local computer name is also required. The information is compiled into a security request message and sent to either the Windows Security API or the Security Manager depending on which mode is active. In Operating System mode, a temporary logon using the passed User ID results in either pass or fail access. If access is permitted, a list of all groups that contain the User ID is returned. This information is then sent to the Security Manager along with the application name (and function name if applicable), the operator station from where the request was made, and if applicable, the recipe identification code. The Security Manager compares the security request with the information defined in the security database and returns either an OK or not OK result to the application making the request. The application acts on the result accordingly.

For the AVEVA Batch Management Security dialog box to allow various users to log in, the user account that is logged on to the Windows desktop needs to be assigned to the Impersonate a client after authentication user right in the local security policy.
