8.12.2 User view
Application
The user view is used to display the users on the HMI device:
● All users on the HMI device are displayed in the user view to the administrator or
to a user with administrator authorizations
● If you are a user without user management authorization, you can only see your
personal user entry
The authorizations of a user after logging on depends on the user group to which
the user is assigned.
Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation
Layout
The configuration engineer can implement a simple or enhanced user view.
The two user views offer the same functions. They differ only in the display of information.
Simple user view
If you are not logged on to the HMI device, the only entry contained in the simple user
view is "<ENTER>".
If you are logged on to the HMI device, the simple user view only displays the user name
and user group.
Enhanced user view
The enhanced user view displays information about the users.
The enhanced user view contains the following columns:
● Users
● Password
● Group
● Logoff time
The passwords are encrypted by appear as asterisks.
