Group box that lets you to add the name of the group with a prefix in the Proficy Authentication Server. After a user is added to Proficy Authentication, privileges are granted through group associations in the Proficy Authentication tool. Groups that are part of iFIX security can be added to Proficy Authentication using this dialog box.
Shared Prefix
Lets you to add scada.ifix_shared in the prefix of the name of the group that you created. For example, if you created a group called iFIX_Group1 in iFIX, the group is added as scada.ifix_shared.iFIX_Group1. The Shared Prefix essentially saves you from having to add the same groups from each iFIX node in the system; you only need to add it once to Proficy Authentication.
Node Name Prefix
Lets you to add <scada>.nodename in the prefix of the name of the group that you created. For example, if the node name is FIX, and the group name you created in iFIX is iFIX_Group1, the group is added as scada.FIX.iFIX_Group1. The Node Name Prefix enables you to use the same group names across different nodes but with different privileges.
Add Groups
Lets you to add the created group along with the preferred prefix to the Proficy Authentication server.
