Secure resources
To secure the resources in the
FactoryTalk
system, select the resource, and use Allow
or Deny
permissions to specify which users can perform what actions on that resource from what computers. This helps ensure that only authorized personnel can perform approved actions from appropriate locations.Common actions include the ability to see the resource, to edit or delete it, and to add additional items to the resource. Additional securable actions might appear, depending on which
FactoryTalk
products installed.Set security permissions for:
- FactoryTalklocal or network directory
- Applications
- Areas
- System folder
- Action groups
- Policies
- Computers and Computer Groups
- Users and User Groups
- Connections, including databases
- Networks and devices
Security for networks and devices follows special rules for inheriting security permissions, and includes the use of logical names, permission sets, and resource groupings. For this reason, security for networks and devices is covered in its own section.
