Add a User

To add a user, highlight Users in the left hand pane and click Add User from the toolbar menu. The User window is displayed.

Note:
Users must be added manually by a Electrical Security Manager Administrator.

Note:
If security is enabled (refer to Enable Basic Security Settings), when a Windows user or an SQL user connects to an Engineering module, if that user has not be added to the list of project users in Electrical Security Manager before, it is automatically added then.
The User Name of automatically added users will be the domain name and the user name, for example, "Domain\Username". The Full Name will be the user name prefixed with "auto-", for example, "auto-Domain\Username".

To add a new user if the project is using Windows or SQL Server Authentication, click the button to the right of the User Name field. The Select Username window is then displayed:

Select a domain name, then a user name from that domain from the lists in that window.

Note:
If SQL Server Authentication is being used for the project, new users must also be added as logins on the SQL server, if that is not already the case. A utility is provided in the Electrical Security Manager for this purpose. Refer to Add New User to SQL Server Project.

If using AVEVA Project Authentication, the button is not displayed. Instead enter the required user name and password in the fields provided:

• Unless AVEVA Project Authentication is being used, the Password field on the User window is only enabled if the user is an Administrator.

• A user can by marked as Is Read Only. This stops the user from editing any data in all application modules.

• Marking the user as Is Administrator enables the user to run Security Manager as an Administrator. Every Administrator must have a Password. The Password field is enabled if Is Administrator option is checked.

Security Group Membership

If a user is not Read Only or an Administrator, then the user must then be assigned to a Security Group.

The Security Group controls the access level to each Security Manager application (for example, Electrical Security Manager, Electrical Designer, Electrical Wiring Manager) and/or objects within each module (for example, Equipment, Cables, Datasheets). Refer to Groups for further information.

• To assign the user to a Security Group double-click on the Group name in the Not Member of Group list. The selected Group is then moved to the Member of Group list.

• To unassign the user from a Security Group double-click on the Group name in the Member of Group list.
