Assign iFIX Groups to the Newly Created User

By default, ch_admin user is created after you register iFIX to Proficy Authentication or to Configuration Hub. For the first time, you can log in to Configuration Hub using ch_admin and the password same as Proficy authentication secret. After you log in to Configuration Hub, as an administrator, you can create new users based on your requirement using the Security configuration utility. For more information, refer to the section Create Users in Proficy Authentication. However, to log in to iFIX using Proficy Authentication, you must assign iFIX related group memberships to the ch_admin user or the user that you create.

To assign a group to a user, perform the following:

Log in to Configuration Hub with the user credentials.
NOTE: If you are logging in for the first time, use ch_admin and the password same as Proficy Authentication secret.
Go to Security-UAA > Users.
The existing list of Proficy Authentication user accounts appear.
Select the user as needed.
On the right side pane, next to Group Membership, select .
The Group Membership dialog box appears listing all the available groups.

NOTE: The default iFIX related groups will be listed only after you register iFIX to Proficy Authentication and Configuration Hub.
Select the iFIX related groups as needed.
The users will get the permission based on the group application features assigned in iFIX.

NOTE: If you did not create any specific iFIX groups, you can select the following group memberships, as they will have all the required permissions to use iFIX in Configuration Hub: scada.ifix_shared.IFIX_PROFICY_AUTH_ADMIN and scada.project.admin.
Select Apply.
The selected group membership is assigned to the user. You can now log out and log in to Configuration Hub and then log in to iFIX using Proficy Authentication.
