Configuring Operator-Based Security
PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 217
To add an operator to the system:
1 Click an unassigned operator ID position in the Operator ID column. This
opens the Operator Configuration display.
2 For the operator you want to add, type the appropriate information into the
text fields. Make certain you type a unique operator ID of no more than four
alphanumeric characters for the operator.
Tip You can use the dropdown list at the top of the Operator Configuration display to
view or change the details of any operator who has already been entered into the
system.
The Operator Configuration display is used to define the details for a new
operator or to amend the details for an existing operator. You enter information
in each field as follows:
Property Description
ID A unique identifier for the operator. You can use a maximum of 4
alphanumeric characters
Operator IDs are also recorded with events. Whenever an
operator makes a change at a Station (for example, to control a
point, acknowledge an alarm) and that change is logged as an
event, the operator ID is recorded with the event.
Name The operator’s name.
Title The operator’s title, if applicable.
Area Required if you are implementing area restrictions, use this field
to specify the area code required for viewing this operator’s
configuration details. Only Stations or operators with access to this
area are permitted to view the details display for this operator.
Multi-user When this checkbox is selected, this operator ID can be used to
log on concurrently on multiple Stations.
Password Use the Change Password button to change the operator’s
password.
Note: Passwords are case-sensitive.
Authority Select the security level assigned to the operator. (Security levels
are described in “About Security Levels” on page 212.)
Control level Defines the control level assigned to the operator (from 0 to 255).
The default is 255. The operator’s control level determines
whether or not the operator is permitted to control a point. (For
more about point control, see “Control Properties” on page 149.)
Printer Assignment The classes of alarms and events that are printed on a Station’s
printer when the operator is logged on to the Station.
