New Windows-linked User

How do I open New Windows-linked User?

Use

New

Windows

-linked User

to select

Windows

user accounts to link to the

FactoryTalk

system.

Windows

-linked user accounts are managed by

Windows

. When accessing

FactoryTalk

resources using a

Windows

-linked account,

FactoryTalk Directory

relies on

Windows

to validate the user's name and password, and determine whether the account is enabled or locked out.

Add user accounts to the

FactoryTalk

network or local directory from the list of users or groups in a

Windows

domain or workgroup. If the computer is disconnected from the

Windows

domain, the computer must reconnect to the domain before adding

Windows

-linked user accounts. However, any users who previously logged on to the

Windows

domain from that computer can log on to

FactoryTalk

using their

Windows

-linked user account while the computer is disconnected from the

Windows

domain.

If possible, use

Windows

-linked user group accounts rather than individual accounts. When deploying your applications from one domain to another, move the user accounts in a

Windows

-linked user group from one domain to another by changing the domain the group belongs to. This allows moving the applications to a different domain without changing or recreating each user account separately, and without recreating all security permissions for the accounts.

Windows-linked users are influenced by Windows security policy settings. For more information, see The influence of Windows User Rights Assignment settings on a FactoryTalk system.
