How do I open New
Windows
-Linked User Group?

    FactoryTalk Administration Console
    or
    FactoryTalk View Studio
    and then log on to the
    FactoryTalk
    Network Directory or
    FactoryTalk
    Local Directory where you want to add a
    Windows
    -linked user group account.
  2. In the
    Explorer
    window, expand the
    FactoryTalk
    Network or Local Directory tree, and then expand the
    System
    folder and the
    Users and Groups
    folder.

To move
Windows
accounts from one domain to another, create
Windows
-linked user group accounts instead of individual
Windows
-linked user accounts.
Windows
-linked user group accounts, and the user accounts they contain, can move from one domain to another while keeping security permissions for the group accounts intact.
Linking user groups from a
Windows
domain or workgroup to the
FactoryTalk
system allows the
Windows
user accounts in the group to access the
FactoryTalk
system using their existing
Windows
credentials. To modify the properties of a
Windows
-linked user group, (for example the group's name, or which user accounts are members of the group), use
Windows
.
Use
Windows
-Linked User Group
to add a group account in the
FactoryTalk Directory
that is linked to a user group account in
Windows
.
When adding a
Windows
-linked user group account
, all user accounts in the
Windows
user group can access the
FactoryTalk
system. To prevent some users in a
Windows
-linked group from accessing the
FactoryTalk
system, create
Windows
-linked accounts for those users, and then set permissions to deny access to those user accounts.
Windows-linked user groups are influenced by Windows security policy settings. For more information, see The influence of Windows User Rights Assignment settings on a FactoryTalk system.
