Security for screens, shortcuts, and popups

Access to HMI screens is based on role and not a specific user. A role is comparable to a Windows user group. Each user has a user account and an assigned role.
By default, all users on HMI devices have access to items in the
Project Explorer
 that include:
  • Shortcuts in
    the Navigation Menu
     folder
  • Screens and popups in the
    User-Defined Screens
     or
    Predefined Screens
     folders. Navigate to these items on the HMI device by triggering an event that has a navigation command.
The root-level folder of a project is assigned Full Access, which gives users access to all items regardless of the assigned role of the user. The
Navigation Menu
,
User-Defined Screens
, and
Predefined Screens
 folders inherit security access from the root folder.
Each folder and screen has a Security category that specifies that the level of access for each role to individual screens or the contents of a folder.
