Access control restrictions to Plant Areas may be setup in the Security Manager module. If this is the case, the Areas to which users have access to, and the level of their access is based on the group that they are in.
For example, users in group A may have full read and write access to objects in Area 1, but only read-only access to objects in Area 2, and no access at all to objects in Area 3 (objects in this area will not even be visible to the user in data grids for example).
The levels of access to areas are as follows:
|
Full Access |
allows a user to add, edit and delete data in the area |
|
Read-Only |
allows a user to view the details of objects in the area, but not edit or delete it, and to create reports that include the object data |
|
Read-Only (Allow Connections) |
allows a user to view object data, create reports and make connections to objects in the area (e.g. users may assign a supply in the area to a load in a full access area) |
|
No Access |
stops a user from viewing the objects in the area, including disabling of editing and reporting |
