Add the Required Users to the Runtime Users Role

The Runtime Users role is used to control access to Plant SCADA's runtime. Any Windows® user account that has to start runtime needs to be directly added to this role, or one of the User Groups associated with the role (see Security Roles).

If you have configured Plant SCADA to use any of the following features, you will need to ensure that the relevant user is added to the Runtime Users role so that runtime can be launched.

• If Runtime Manager is running as a service and you are not using the default service account "NT SERVICE\Citect Runtime Manager".

• If you are using a local CTAPI application that is not being run by the currently logged in user (for example, the CTAPI application is running as a Windows service under a different user account).

To determine which users you need add into this role, check the following:

• If Runtime Manager is running as a service, check the properties of the "Plant SCADA Runtime Manager" service. If this is not running under the "NT SERVICE\Citect Runtime Manager" account, then the user this service is running under will need to be added to the Runtime Users role.

• If you are running a CTAPI application as a different user to the currently logged in user, then the user account this applications runs under needs to be added to the Runtime Users role.
