Import an RSSecurity database

FactoryTalk
 Network Directory or a
FactoryTalk
 Local Directory. Use the
FactoryTalk® Security
 Import tool to import an RSSecurity Server database into a
FactoryTalk Directory
. Import the RSSecurity Server database into either a
FactoryTalk
 Local Directory or a Network Directory or allow the
FactoryTalk Security
 Import tool to determine which directory to import into automatically.
FactoryTalk
 Network Directory and Local Directory are completely separate, even when configured on the same computer. If you are using both directories, set up security in each directory separately. Project information and security settings remain cannot be shared between directories.
Imported users, actions and resources can be edited in
FactoryTalk Administration Console
 or
FactoryTalk View Studio
.
