Authorize a service to use FactoryTalk Badge Logon

Use FactoryTalk Badge Authorization to authorize services to use the
FactoryTalk
 Badge Logon function.
The service that requests access to use the
FactoryTalk
 Badge Logon function must be trusted by
Rockwell Automation
. Please be aware that selecting
Badge Only
 as the system
Login method
 allows access to the system without authenticating the native FactoryTalk user. The system grants access solely on the identity of the badge. To maintain a strong security posture, we recommend that it is required to provide passwords in addition to presenting the badge, that is to say, you must select
Password and Badge
 as the system
Login method
. Please note that the
Badge Only
system
Login method
 cannot be used with Windows-linked users.
TIP:
To configure the Badge Authorization policy, log on to
FactoryTalk
 with an account that is a member of the
FactoryTalk
 Administrators group.
