Security groups

AVEVA System Monitor implements a group/role-based security system to control the features that are available to the logged-in user. During AVEVA System Monitor installation, the system creates the following local security groups on the System Monitor Manager:

• Administrators – full access to all AVEVA System Monitor features

• Advanced Support Engineers - Rules Management

• Support Engineers – Category/Sub-Category management, Publish Rules, Alert Management

• Configurators – Settings management

• Report Users – access AVEVA System Monitor reports

• Read-only Operators – view Active Alerts

AVEVA System Monitor User accounts are added to one or more security groups. A user who is a member of multiple security groups is granted the rights to all of the assigned groups. Typically, a user will be a member of a single group. However, the user-designated to be an Advanced Support Engineer should be a member of both the Support Engineers group and the Advanced Support Engineers group.

The AVEVA System Monitor User that is added to the AVEVA System Monitor Administrators group will be automatically added to all groups. All other users that need access to AVEVA System Monitor Reports should be added to the AVEVA System Monitor Report Users' group.

The association of the AVEVA System Monitor User account and the security group is specified using the User Management dialog in the System Monitor Manager.
