User Access Rights and the Security Manager

The access rights and permissions that a user will have in AVEVA P&ID applications depend on the user group they are assigned to.

Users are created and assigned to the four user groups using the AVEVA P&ID Security application. Each of these groups corresponds to a user role and has a set of permissions to "objects" in an AVEVA P&ID SQL Server database. Each of these objects corresponds to a function, activity etc. in AVEVA P&ID. In this way, the access rights of each user are defined.

The Security application is also used to switch object/group security restrictions for users on and off, and to set the "Authentication Type" used when accessing AVEVA P&ID applications, for example, whether P&ID Project, Windows or SQL Server user credentials are used.

For details of the Security application, refer to the separate AVEVA P&ID Security documentation.
