The Security application consists of two parts: Security Configuration and Login. For complete information on configuring security and logging in, refer to the Configuring Security Features manual.
Security Configuration
The Security Configuration program allows you to do the following:
- Enable or disable security on a node.
- Create and edit user and group accounts.
- Establish automatic login at startup.
- Assign users rights to use programs and program functions, as well as write access to database blocks.
- Assign user names and passwords.
- Assign security area names.
NOTE: You can assign security protection to individual pictures in the iFIX WorkSpace and recipes in Recipe Builder.
Login
Once a node has security protection, operators must access the Login program and enter their user name and password. After logging in, operators can access the protected features of the node to which they have rights.
