Access Management

Access management provides you the ability to grant permissions to different user accounts to resources in your environment. Resources are the apps that your organization has entitled for use. To use an application in FactoryTalk Hub, you need a resource role associated with the service. Roles control the functions in those services that will be visible when the specified user account signs-in to FactoryTalk Hub. The default access level without a resource-role is usually “no access” but some services do have limited access without a resource-role.
From the
Hub Manager
 page, navigate down the list to Access Management and select
OPEN.
 The
Access Management
 page displays. On this page, you can add or remove access for Users, as well as view a list of Users to whom access has been granted. If a user does not appear in the list you can add them with the Invite User feature. You can edit an existing user account’s access by selecting the desired user account in the
Access Management
 list, and redefining their
Resource Type
,
Resource
, and
Role
 as needed.
Resource Types are a selection of available resources at the organization or service level including:
  • Organization - choose to grant access to every service
  • Service - choose for more granular access control by each service
NOTE: The FactoryTalk Hub manager menu is only visible after you have created or joined an organization.
