Specify access to operations performed on an Alarm Summary table

Specify which users have access to perform certain operations on an Alarm Summary table. To enable all users to perform an operation, set security access to
Full Access
. For example, determine that all users have access to acknowledge an alarm. In this case, set the access for

. Inherited access levels include
Full Access

Read-Only
 access, or
No Access
.

      Inherited access for a user role can be Full Access, Read-Only access, or No Access. If a button inherits Read-Only access, hash marks appear across the button on the HMI device. An error appears if the user presses the button. If a button inherits No Access from the screen, the user does not have access to the screen containing the alarm table. In this case, the screen does not appear in the
      Navigation menu
      .
