Write
Restrictions
In order to write register values or save templates to your Web site with the Data
Editor or Graphic Editor, a user must enter an additional password for write access.
Users who enter the write password can only modify variables, (symbols) and
direct addresses which are set as write-enabled. When you create a Web-enabled
database of variables and direct addresses, you can designate each element as
read-only or write-enabled.
Security
Overrides
Because the passwords and read/write settings are downloaded to the Embedded
Server with the FactoryCast Configurator, anyone who has a copy of the
Configuration Tool software and access to your Embedded Server over the
network can modify your security settings by downloading new ones.
CAUTION
CHANGES TO DATA MAY RESULT IN CHANGES TO YOUR APPLICATION
Be careful about which variables (symbols) and direct addresses you allow to be modified
online, and be cautious about who has permission to modify them. Unauthorized or
incorrect changes to data may change the behavior of your application in ways that may be
undesirable or even dangerous.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.
