CREATING USERS
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
re-entered. Enabling this feature produces higher security, and may be required
to comply with security standards in certain industries.
• The Default Access properties are used to indicate the access to be provided to
various objects should no specific access be defined for that item. The settings
are as described in the Access Control section above.
• The Default Logging properties are used to indicate whether changes to mapped
and unmapped tags should be logged should no specific logging criteria be
defined for a tag. It is not possible to log programmatic access by default, as
such logging should be carefully considered to avoid excessive log activity.
• The Logging Control properties are used to define whether and how the security
logs should be created. Refer to the Configuring Data Logging chapter for
information on how the data is written and how files are named.
CREATING USERS
You may use the Create User button to create as many users as you need. The users may be
renamed or deleted using the left-hand pane. To select a user, either click on the name in the
list, or use the up and down arrows in the toolbar. Alternatively, you can use the Alt+Left
and Alt+Right key combinations to move up and down the list as required. These keys will
work no matter which pane is selected.
Each user has the following properties…
• The Real Name property is used to record the user’s identity in security logs, and
in the Security Manager primitive that is used to change passwords from the
operator terminal. If maximum security is required, the user name should not be
easily derived from the real name.
• The Password property is used to specify an initial password for this user. The
password is case-sensitive and comprises alphanumeric characters. Note that if
the Override Existing box is checked, any changes made to this password from
the operator panel itself will be overridden when this database is downloaded to
the panel.
