Key Access Level
The standard Profit Optimizer package applies one of two access levels to targets
on Profit Optimizer displays: OPERator or ENGineer. By default, the SUPVR
(Supervisor) access is the same as Operator. Responsibility that typically falls to
Control Engineers (tuning, for example) is given ENG access.
