Configure Security in Standalone Application

To configure security in standalone application:

1. In WindowMaker, under File > Configure > Security select None or AVEVA Connect as the security option and click Save.

   

   With Operations Control connected experience enabled and incompatible security type configured, if you open WindowViewer or WindowMaker you will be prompted with the message asking you to reconfigure the security in WindowMaker with any of the above supported security types. The WindowViewer will close on clicking OK and in the WindowMaker you will have option to edit the security type. InTouch and Operating System security types are not supported in Operation Control connected experience, and you cannot use the AVEVA Connect security type in non-connected experience.

2. To map access levels to groups in standalone InTouch:

   Use the script function AddPermission().

   The AddPermission() method accepts only two parameters in Operations Control connected experience:

   • AVEVA Connect Group

   • Access Level

     Script function for AddPermission() in Operations Control connected experience:

     DiscreteTag=AddPermission("", "AVEVA Connect group", AccessLevel);

     If a runtime user is a member of multiple groups from AVEVA Connect, the access level will be determined by the group with the highest access level.

     OR

     1. In WindowMaker,on the File menu, go to Configure > Security and select AVEVA Connect.

     2. In the Configure groups section select the Add button (plus icon).
