Users

Plant SCADA runtime security supports two types of users:

• Native Plant SCADA users

• Windows™ users.

Every user needs to be assigned to a Roles to be granted privileges and access to areas.

If you want to use native Plant SCADA users, you define them in the Security activity. See Add a Plant SCADA User.

If you want to use Windows users, they need to be part of a Windows User Group that is associated with a role. See Integrate Windows™ User Groups for more information.

Note: Each operator needs to enter a User Name and Password to use the Plant SCADA runtime system. To allow a user to login, you can use the Login() or LoginForm() Cicode functions. You can also use the [General]PasswordExpiry parameter to specify when a password will expire.
