When you initially start the iFIX Security Configuration program, iFIX security is disabled. The Security Configuration program indicates this status by displaying an open lock on the screen. While security is disabled, anyone can use iFIX programs or modify iFIX configuration files without restriction. Electronic signature capability is also disabled when security is disabled.
When you enable security, the lock closes and operators must log into iFIX with their user accounts to gain access. For instructions on enabling and disabling security, refer to the section Enabling and Disabling Security.
