Built in iFIX Groups that Appear in Proficy Authentication

By default, built in iFIX security groups are added to Proficy Authentication. The following table describes these groups in iFIX and in Proficy Authentication, and the associated iFIX application features that are associated with each group.

NOTE:Once you delete a group in iFIX, Proficy Authentication will not recognize that the group is deleted in iFIX. So the Proficy Authentication users in that group will not have the permission to use the associated iFIX application features.

Proficy Authentication Group iFIX Security Group Description iFIX Application Features

scada.ifix_shared_IFIX_PROFICY_AUTH_ADMIN

IFIX_PROFICY_AUTH_ADMIN

This group allows access to all iFIX application features. So, any Proficy Authentication user who is a member of this group will have privileges similar to a native iFIX ADMIN user (except the access to security areas).

Proficy Authentication users who want to directly log in to iFIX can use this group.

NOTE: This group is not available by default when you upgrade from iFIX 6.1 or 6.5. You must manually create this group with all the iFIX application features as needed. For more information on how to create groups, refer to the section Creating a Group Account to Proficy Authentication.
