An AVEVA Instrumentation administrator can set security rights for Users to enable/disable access to AVEVA Instrumentation functionality including:
-
Access to AVEVA Instrumentation application modules. Users can be restricted from using any module (license).
-
Access to AVEVA Instrumentation objects can be restricted to read-only (for example, a user cannot add/edit an instrument, cable, etc.) or no access (the user cannot view an instrument, cable, etc.).
-
Access to Project data in Plant Areas can be restricted if required. Users can be given Full, Read-only or No access to data in Plant Areas as appropriate.
AVEVA Instrumentation objects include Project items such as cables, instruments and catalogs. Functionality, such as data import, can also be restricted as required.
By default, all new Projects have the User Security Rights features disabled. If User Security is required it must be turned on using the Instrumentation Security Manager application. Users must then be allocated to Security Groups such as Engineers and Designers, Read-Only Users etc. For further information, refer to the AVEVA Instrumentation Security Manager documentation.
Note: Once security is switched on, by default users will have no access until they are added to a Security Group.
