The user management is based on the users and the user categories. The users have a user account for PCM600. Each user account is mapped to one user category, which defines the permission to access certain functions. There are three default user categories.
- System Engineer acts as an administrator for the system and has full rights to perform any function and can define the user accounts.
- Operator can perform certain simple tasks and has read-only access to certain functionality of PCM600.
- Application Engineer can access most of the functions and has read and write access to the IED engineering functionality.
The members of the System Engineer user category can create new user categories. The name of the user category must be unique. Privileges can be defined by a tool component for new user categories. For example, a user category can be defined to have either read or read/write access in Signal Matrix.
- On the menu bar, click Tools and select Options to start the user management.
- Select the Category Manager folder.
- Click Add New Category to open the Add New Category dialog.
- Type the name for the new user category.
- Specify the rights to perform different functions under the Functions And Rights field.
- Select OK to save the definition.
