Implementing System Security

Each of your system elements (objects, alarms, reports, accumulators, etc.) can be assigned a privilege level and allocated to a specific area. For a user to be able to acknowledge an alarm, for example, the role they are assigned, need to have access to the correct area, and have the necessary privileges that match the alarm.
