Add a user

A user must have a FactoryTalk Directory user account to use FactoryTalk AssetCentre. Thus, to add a user to FactoryTalk AssetCentre, create a user account in FactoryTalk Security. For instructions on adding a user, see the

FactoryTalk Administration Console Help

.

If you choose to use Windows-linked accounts, consider using Windows-linked group accounts in place of Windows-linked user accounts wherever possible. This simplifies account administration, because FactoryTalk inherits any changes made to the Active Directory group (for example, adding the Active Directory user account of a new employee).
