Default FactoryTalk Security settings
If you have installed 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, have full access to the directory and to FactoryTalk View.
When you create a local station, a network station or a network distributed application,
the user groups, Windows Administrators and Administrators, are created on the FactoryTalk
Directory (System/Users and Groups/User Groups folder). Also, the group account, All Users,
is added automatically to the FactoryTalk View Runtime Security accounts. By default, All
Users is granted all FactoryTalk View Site Edition runtime security codes (A - P), and all
FactoryTalk Security actions at the root directory node.
This means that all users will be able to develop and modify applications in FactoryTalk View Studio, and run applications in the FactoryTalk View SE Client. If you need to retain full access for all users, no further security set up is required.
If you have upgraded an existing FactoryTalk system with FactoryTalk Services Platform and FactoryTalk View Site Edition, whatever security you previously set up will continue to be in effect.
