Add users and assign roles

To add a user and assign a role:

1. Launch the configurator, and select the AVEVA Historian Security node.

   

2. You can assign roles to Windows domain and local user accounts, and the configurator sets up the SQL Server user and role mappings accordingly. To assign a role to an existing domain or local user account, select Add Users.... The standard Windows user selection dialog displays.

   

   Select a user account with this dialog, and select OK.

3. The user account is added to the Historian Users section, and assigned the Historian Users role by default. To assign a different role, click beside the role name, and select another role from the list. To assign multiple roles to a user account, repeat steps 2 and 3 for each different role.

   

4. To create a new local Windows user account and assign it a role, select Create User. The create user dialog displays.

   

5. Select Local Account, enter a new User Name, select Create new user, and enter the new user's Password. Select OK when you are finished.

6. The user account is created with the password you specified. It is added to the Historian Users section, and assigned the Historian Users role by default. To assign a different role, click beside the role name, and select another role from the list.

   

7. Repeat the above steps until you have finished adding users and role assignments, and then select Configure. All of your changes are applied.
