About FactoryTalk Security services
FactoryTalk Security authenticates user identities and authorizes user requests for access to a FactoryTalk-enabled system. These security services are integrated into the FactoryTalk Directory and are included as part of the FactoryTalk Services Platform.
When you install FactoryTalk Services Platform and FactoryTalk View Site Edition on a
computer for the first time with the standard FactoryTalk Directory mode:
- In the FactoryTalk Local Directory, all users have full access to the directory and to FactoryTalk View.
- In the FactoryTalk Directory Network, all users that are members of the Windows Administrator group on any local computer that is connected to the FactoryTalk Network Directory, will have full access to the directory and to FactoryTalk View.
To restrict access to the FactoryTalk system for selected users and computers, you must
remove the All Users account, create FactoryTalk security accounts for the users and
computers you plan to secure, and then give users the appropriate security permissions.
Alternatively, installation with the secure FactoryTalk Directory mode excludes the All
Users account during the installing process.
