Use
FactoryTalk Security
 with
AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software

The
FactoryTalk Security
 software allows you to control actions on your projects based on:
  • the user who is signed in.
  • the project the user is attempting to modify.
  • the computer from which the user is attempting to modify the project.
TIP: The security feature is intended to prevent accidental unauthorized action to your project and to

 controller equipment. It is important to note that while the feature does provide some protection against intentional unauthorized action, it does not provide protection against action conducted by system hackers. You should put in place additional preventative measures against unwanted actions.
FactoryTalk Security
 grants or denies action based on:
  • User ID
  • Computer name
  • Action name (that is, the activity the user is trying to perform, such as configure I/O devices, or download an application)
IMPORTANT: Before you use this feature, read the
FactoryTalk Security System Configuration Guide
, which is available in the Rockwell Automation Literature Library: rockwellautomation.com/en-us/support/documentation/literature-library.html
