    Add
     button or the
    Add User/Group
     icon in the toolbar.
  2. The
    Select User or Group
     dialog box opens. In the Filter frame, select the option that shows the users or groups you want.
  3. Select the user or group you want to add and click
    OK
    .
    TIP:

    New users must be created in the Select User or Group dialog box for
    FactoryTalk Security
     before they can be added to Runtime Security.
Options
  • Account ID
    Accounts shown in the 4.00 spreadsheet, other than the DEFAULT user, are
    FactoryTalk Security
     users or groups. You cannot modify the Account ID for a
    FactoryTalk Security
     user or group in the
    Runtime Security
     editor.
  • Login Macro
    The login macro is optional. To run a macro each time this user logs in, type the macro name in this box or click the
    Browse
     button (…) to select from a list of macros in the application.
  • Logout Macro
    The logout macro is optional. To run a macro each time this user logs out, type the macro name in this box or click the
    Browse
     button (…) to select from a list of macros in the application.
    If a new user logs in before the previous user has logged out, the logout macro of the previous user runs after the new user logs in.
  • Security Codes
    For a new user, all the boxes are checked by default (Y is displayed in all columns in the spreadsheet). To block access to a security code, clear the check box for the code in the form section.
    TIP:
    Be sure the DEFAULT user is allowed at least one security code, and assign the same security code (or the * code) to the initial graphic display. If the DEFAULT user has no security codes allowed, when the application is run, no display will open.
