Using the Users and Passwords management in projects allows access to protected functions be managed. The project Users can also be used for sending SMS, Voice and Fax messages.
When using supervision projects it is often necessary to protect the managing of the plant's conditions against unauthorized persons by granting access to the system's functions only after the user's authentication has been verified and confirmed.
Plants can be protected by using the Users and Passwords management.
The Users and Passwords management is a supervision project to allow the possibility to manage supervisor access security, by declaring identification of users enabled to work in the system, by entrusting them with an exclusive password and access level. The access privileges (hierarchical levels and Areas) can be issued normally or by group.
there are 1024 hierarchical levels and 16 area levels
Log On will not be requested when the objects have been left with the default value (level 0)
The project must request Log On for each command and function to be protected from unauthorized access. The hierarchical level must be declared in the properties of "sensitive" objects to be able to execute the command and the area it belongs to.
The execution of these objects will therefore be subject to a Log On to verify the access privileges of the user executing the command.
In this way, any supervisor function can be protected with this type of user level and user password settings verification, according to the modalities and settings described in this chapter.
Movicon allows complete password management, with a unlimited number of users and user groups each one can be set with a level (1-1024) and area (1-16).
