Understand multiple users and MES Operator

Often, the machine on which Operator is running is located on the shop floor and shared by multiple users. The Switch User function allows multiple users to be logged into Operator at a time and in a controlled way.

You initiate the Switch User function by clicking the Switch User button, which is available on most of the Operator tabs. This opens the User Functions dialog box, which is shown in the following figure. The legend below the figure describes the button functions.

1. Log the selected user in

2. Log the selected user out

3. Log in a user not currently logged in

4. Change the selected user’s password
