Description

A

Enable resource set point security

Restricts set point privileges to only the resources for which a project user has access.

Example

POINT_A has been defined for RESOURCE_1

If:

RESOURCE_1 is an authorized resource for USER_X.

Enable resource set point security is enabled.

Then:

USER_X can perform setpoints on POINT_A.

If:

RESOURCE_1 is not an authorized resource for USER_X.

Enable resource set point security is enabled.

Then:

USER_X cannot perform setpoints on POINT_A.

Note: Resources are assigned to users in the User Properties dialog box.

B

Enable level setpoint security

Restricts a project user's point setpoint privilege to only points that are assigned levels equal to or lower than the project user's role level.

Example

A Discrete_Oper user is assigned the role Oper in the User Properties dialog box.

Oper is assigned a Level 10 in the Role Properties dialog box.

The Discrete_Oper user can set only device points that have been assigned a level that is smaller or equal to 10.

C

Enable set point password

Restricts access to the setpoint functions to users who know the password. The CIMPLICITY default is unrestricted access.

Password

Required to perform setpoint actions.

Confirm Password

Confirms the password.

If

Then

An Enterprise Server project contains the same resources as the provider of a point,

Setpoint Security for the point is enforced against the resource in the Enterprise Server project.

The resource is not configured on the Enterprise Server project,

Setpoint Security for the point is enforced against the remote project's resource.
