Select and Login to a Project

When the Electrical Security Manager application is started, the Select an AVEVA Electrical Project window is displayed.

Note: The Select an AVEVA Electrical Project window is not displayed if only one project exists. If only one project exists, this project is automatically selected and the Login window is displayed.

Note: Clicking New displays the Create a New AVEVA Electrical Project window. Refer to Create New Project for further information.

Highlight a project in the list and click Select. The login procedure then depends on the authentication type of the project (see Set Authentication Type).

• If Windows Authentication is the authentication method being used for the project, the Login window is then displayed (see below).

• If SQL Server Authentication is the authentication method being used for the project, the SQL User Login window is displayed:

  

  Enter valid SQL server login details and click OK. The Login window is then displayed (see below).

• If AVEVA Project Authentication is the authentication method being used for the project, the Authentication Type window is displayed:

  

  AVEVA Project Authentication can only be used to authenticate user access to project engineering modules. Therefore one of the other methods must be used when carrying out a procedure that requires administrator rights, such as accessing the Electrical Security Manager module for a project.

  Select the required method and then click OK.

  If Windows Authentication is selected, the Login window is then displayed.

  If SQL Server Authentication is selected, the SQL User Login window is displayed as described above. Enter the required details and click OK to access the Login window.

In the Login window enter login details for a project user with administrator rights.

A default administrator user is automatically created for each project. If the default administrator user login details have not been changed, the User Name is administrator and the Password is Password.

Note: AVEVA recommend that the default password for the administrator is changed to protect the integrity of Security Manager. Refer to Change the Administrator Password for further information.
