3.10.1 Managing PCM600 users
3.10.1.1 Creating user categories
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.
1. On the menu bar, click Tools and select Options to start the user management.
2. Select the Category Manager folder.
3. Click Add New Category to open the Add New Category dialog.
4. Type the name for the new user category.
5. Specify the rights to perform different functions under the Functions And
Rights field.
6. Select OK to save the definition.
3.10.1.2 Creating users
The user authentication can be enabled or disabled in Tools /Options /System
settings. When the user authentication is disabled, all the users get full rights to
operate.
The authentication method can be defined to be PCM600 authentication or Windows
authentication. The Windows authentication uses the current user's Windows account
to determine if the user is allowed to log in to PCM600. The PCM600 authentication
uses user name and password specified in the user management of PCM600.
Create a new user to PCM600 and define the user information.
