8.9        Add or Update Project User

You can create users with all the abilities of an admin by creating Project User account and a User Account with the same name. The user should be given Security level 127 (admin level) for all Areas, Local Tag, View Tag and Exit ViewDAQ.

The Project User and Admin accounts are created and modified on the Project Manager Home Page.

Project Users and the admin account can access the Project Manager.  Project Users can not access the SCADA Nodes using VIEW or ViewDAQ, unless a second account is created in Users (on Project Property Page) with the same user name and password.  Similarly, other Users can not access the Project Manager, unless a Project User account is created.
