Provide entity access to a user group

An entity refers to a component within the system that a user logs into with permissions to manipulate its data. An entity can be a building, a location within a building, a single machine, an assembly line, and so on.

You can determine the entities that the members of a user group can access in the MES applications, specifically the Inventory Management form in the MES model-driven application content for Work Tasks, the Queue module in MES Client, and the Entity Login window in MES Operator application. You can provide entity access only to a user group and not to an individual user.

Entity access rights are additive. This means that a user will have the maximum entity access rights of all the groups of which they are a member.

The Entity Access tab shows all the entities that are defined in the MES Client application. The entities are displayed in a tree structure in the workspace tab.
