InduSoft Web
Studio includes a project security system that
manages how users and user groups can access a project, during both
development and runtime.
About security modes
In addition to managing users and groups locally, entirely within a
single project, you can also get pre-defined users and groups from
other IWS projects
or from an LDAP-compliant domain server.
About security access
levels
Almost every item in a project — screen object, object animation,
project screen, task worksheet — can be assigned a security access
level. That access level determines which user groups can edit the
item during development and/or use the item during runtime.
Group Account
dialog
The Group Account dialog is
used to create and delete user groups, as well as to configure the
access privileges for a selected group.
Creating and configuring
users
To create and maintain accounts for project users, click the
Users button on the Security System dialog. (Alternately, to
configure a user, open the Users folder located in the Security folder.)
Security System
dialog
The main Security System
dialog is used to manage the project security system after it has
been initially configured.
Backing up the security system
configuration
You can back up your project's security system configuration by
exporting it to a file. You can also import a configuration either
from a file or from another runtime project.
Logging on/off
If the project security system has been enabled and the default
"Guest" user's privileges have been restricted, then you must log
on to fully use the development application and/or the runtime
project.
Blocking or unblocking a
user
An individual user in the project security system may be completely
blocked from accessing the project, and a blocked may subsequently
be unblocked.
Password-protecting screens,
symbols, and worksheets
Screens, symbols, and worksheets in the Project Explorer can be
password-protected. You can assign individual passwords to each
file, or you can assign a single password to all files in the
project
