Work with User and Group Accounts in ArchestrA Mode

If you are using ArchestrA security mode, your choices are limited by the ArchestrA security settings that are already configured. You must know which ArchestrA security mode is being used:

• Galaxy (user-level only)

• OS Users

• OS Groups

  Note: To be able to browse the Galaxy name space, the IDE must be installed on the computer you are browsing from.

Your AVEVA Batch Management implementation must also meet the following prerequisites:

• You must define your Galaxy access name in the Tag Linker. Otherwise, you see a security error message.

  For details, see Defining Access Names.

  

• You must deploy a platform to the AVEVA Batch Management Server node. Otherwise, the following error message appears on the ArchestrA System Management Console (SMC):

  There is no platform deployed to this computer. ArchestrA security requires a platform to be deployed to function.

  Note: ArchestrA security mode cannot take effect unless you deploy a platform. For details about working with ArchestrA security, see the "Working with Security" chapter in the Application Server User’s Guide.

• You must perform an Exit and Shutdown operation on the Environment Display dialog box after you change security modes.

To add or edit a user or group account

1. Open the Security Editor dialog box.

2. On the Edit menu, click User/Group Accounts.

   The User/Group Accounts Editor dialog box appears.

   

3. Click Browse to choose a user or group. See Browsing to Locate a User or a Group in ArchestrA Mode.

   After you have made your choice in the Browse dialog box, the names appear in the User/Group ID and User/Group Name list.

   The User/Group Name is in the domain\username format. If you are adding local users, the domain is blank by default.

4. To optionally assign roles to the user or group, click Roles. See Working with Security Roles.

5. Click Add.

   Note: Password options are not applicable to Operating System security mode. Password Last Changed appears as Operating System Controlled, and the Password button is unavailable.

6. Click Recipes to optionally assign recipes to a user or group. See Assigning Recipe Access to a User or a Group.

7. Click Op Stations to optionally assign specific operator stations to users or groups. See Working with Operator Station Security.

8. Click Change.

   Note: Any changes made to user information in ArchestrA Galaxy security are not automatically propagated to the AVEVA Batch Management Archestra security model. For changes to take effect, you must use the AVEVA Batch Management Security Editor to browse for the user and select the entry again.
