Feature Security Properties

Use the
Policy Settings
 tab in
Feature Security Properties
dialog box to secure features of a single
FactoryTalk
 product. By setting permissions to a single feature, you can limit a user or a group of users to perform securable actions.
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway
 supports the user security by requesting the users to log on to
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway
 server when starts
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway
 Configuration and when changing the scope.
The logon scope is determined by the user's activation type. If a user has a local license, he can only log on to local scope. If the user has a network license, he can logon to both network and local scope.
To log on
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway
 server, do one of the followings:
  • In the
    Log On to FactoryTalk
     dialog, enter the username and password.
    TIP:
    • If you have enabled single sign-on function in
      FactoryTalk Services Platform
       >
      Explorer
       >
      System Policies
       >
      Security Policy
      , there is no need to manually log on
      FactoryTalk Linx Gateway
       server.
    • Log off and log on back for the feature security settings to take effect.
As the product policy is configured upon the logon scope, make sure the
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway
 server logon scope is the same with
FactoryTalk Diagnostics
 scope.
The following table shows the relationship between
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway
 feature security policies and securable actions that the user can perform:
