During the AVEVA Vision Service configuration, the security roles and associated user groups are configured. If you select the Add current user to the groups option on the Vision Service screen, the current user is added to both user groups. Using the Security Roles page, you can add or change the members that are associated with each security role. You can also delete the default groups and replace them with your own.
Note: The term Member refers to both users and user groups.
You can add a maximum of 10 members to a security role. To manage the memberships through normal Microsoft Windows group management practices, we recommend you add a minimal number of members per security role. It is ideal to have one domain group per role. If you select the Connect to an existing System Management Server option, then you must add users or the Domain Groups that the users belong to for both the Administrators and Users groups.
Important: You must configure AVEVA Vision Service before proceeding. See Configure AVEVA™ Vision Service for more information.
