What is Security Manager

The Electrical Security Manager application enables an Administrator or Super User to set up access and security rights on 'Objects' in an SQL Server database. The access rights are role based and include read-write, read-only or a mixture of these rights. Furthermore, Electrical Security Manager also supports 'no access' rights which will stop a user from viewing object data or running a specific AVEVA Electrical application.

AVEVA Electrical 'objects' within Electrical Security Manager means Cables, Equipment, Datasheets, Drawings, Reports, Catalogues, and other logical items.

For example, the Electrical Security Manager Administrator could allow User A to edit cables and equipment, but not edit datasheets. User B could be allowed read-only access to everything. User C could be allowed to edit datasheets but not process data, User D cannot open or view any AVEVA Electrical data, reports etc.

Access rights can also be defined on the basis of plant areas. Users may have access to objects in some areas, but not to others.

Note:
By default, Electrical Security Manager is disabled for all new AVEVA Electrical databases. Security must be enabled from Electrical Security Manager.
