Assign Recipe Access to a User or a Group

You can assign access to as many recipes to a user or group as required. If you do not want an operator to have recipe access, you do not have to grant it. Recipe assignments prevent operators from working on products for which they have not been trained.

Security for the Delete Recipe function does not restrict the user to a specific number of recipes to access when the recipe access list is intended to be restricted. This flexibility allows the user to delete any recipe in the list, not just the ones the user is restricted to. RecipeEdit does not use Security Editor list of recipes assigned to a user. Recipes that are available for configuration in the Security Editor restrict run-time access only. That is, the configuration that you are changing is applicable when the listed recipes are run as part of a batch. There is no real correlation between recipe definition in the Security Editor and the Recipe Editor. To more appropriately manage these types of requirements, you may want to configure each user's security model. That is, the definition and configuration of users, levels, or operator station. When you are setting up the accounts, you can configure each for unauthorized recipe deletion and saving.
