If you do not use FactoryTalk View user accounts
FactoryTalk View creates a user named DEFAULT, and this user is automatically logged
in when you start applications at run time. You do not need to set up any other users, and
users do not need to log in to use the applications you create.
If you use FactoryTalk View user accounts
If you want to use FactoryTalk View user accounts, for example, to run login and logout
macros, but you do not want to use FactoryTalk Security, follow these steps.
1. Add users or user groups to FactoryTalk Security. For details, see page 11-17.
2. Add the FactoryTalk Security users or user groups to the FactoryTalk View Runtime
Security editor. For details, see page 11-5.
3. In the FactoryTalk View Runtime Security editor, if desired, assign login and logout
macros and security codes to users or user groups. For details, see Help for the editor.
4. In the Graphics editor, assign security codes to graphic displays that will have limited
access.
5. Provide users with a method for logging in and out.
6. If desired, prevent unauthorized users from stopping the application.
These steps are described in detail in this chapter.
Working with the Runtime Security editor
Use the Runtime Security editor to:


add FactoryTalk Security users and assign security codes and login and logout macros,
for each user or group of users that will have access to the application at run time.
migrate users from RSView® 3.20 and earlier to FactoryTalk View version 4.00 or
later.

assign user passwords (version 3.20 and earlier applications only).

add Windows users or groups (version 3.20 and earlier applications only).
The method for adding users and assigning security codes to them depends on whether
you are setting up users for FactoryTalk View 4.00 applications, or for RSView 3.20 and
earlier applications. There is a separate tab for 4.00 and later applications and for 3.20 and
earlier applications.
The Runtime Security editor has special items on the View menu to control the
appearance of the editor. It also has items on the Setup menu, and extra tools on the
toolbar.
