Security settings are shared among
FactoryTalk
 enabled products across a network or on the same computer using
FactoryTalk® Security
 in
FactoryTalk® Batch View™
,
FactoryTalk® Batch View™ HMI Controls
,
FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor
, and
FactoryTalk Batch Recipe Editor
.
FactoryTalk® Directory
 is the infrastructure which contains the policies defined for products and resources.
FactoryTalk Batch
 product policies are created in both the Local Directory and the Network Directory when the
FactoryTalk® Services Platform
 is installed. The
FactoryTalk Batch
 product polices are used to restrict access to the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Client components and their features. For a complete list of
FactoryTalk Batch
 secured resources and their default product policy settings, see
FactoryTalk Batch
 default policy settings.
The following information is specific to configuring
FactoryTalk
 Security for the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Clients. For information on securing your
FactoryTalk
 system as a whole, see

The
FactoryTalk Services Platform
 installation process:
  • Creates a FactoryTalk Local Directory and a FactoryTalk Network Directory on the computer.
    When the install process finishes, both directories are fully configured and ready for use.
    TIP:
    Security settings in the Network Directory are completely separate from the security settings in the Local Directory. For example, changes made to the security settings in the Network Directory do not change security settings in the Local Directory.
  • Allows any Windows Administrator user account to log on to either directory.
     The installation process automatically adds the local Windows Administrators group to the
    FactoryTalk
     Administrators group in each
    FactoryTalk Directory
    .
  • Allows any authenticated Windows user to log on to the FactoryTalk Local Directory.
    The installation process automatically adds all members of the local Windows Authenticated Users group to the
    FactoryTalk
     Local Directory.
  • Allows all new user accounts full access permissions.
     The installation process automatically sets system policies to allow all new user accounts added to either directory full access to that directory by default.
