• Areas are assigned to the operator, irrespective of which Station they are
currently logged on to.
Operator-Based Security and Point Control
You can specify a control level for a point when it is configured in the server
database. (Control levels for points are described in “Control Properties” on
page 149.)
When Operator-Based security is used at a Station, an operator must have a
control level greater than or equal to the control level defined for a selected point
in order to be able to control that point.
About Security Levels
The current security level of a Station is displayed in Status Line (right-hand side).
If no operator is signed on to the Station, this part of the Station Line is blank.
You can use up to six different security levels in PlantScape. These levels are
shown in the following table in ascending order of access.
