RSView Supervisory Edition Installation Guide

Assigning security to an HMI tag
Use the Tags editor to assign security to an HMI tag.
Assign security to an HMI tag to restrict write access to the tag. This
prevents users who are not assigned the tag’s security code from
changing the tag’s value. You can assign security to HMI tags only. You
cannot assign security to data server tags.
You can also secure tags using the Signature button in a graphic display,
to control the actions an operator can perform at run time, for
example:
• setting the value of a tag.
• issuing a command.
• downloading values to programmable controllers or devices.
For details about using the Signature button, see page 17-67.
To assign security to a tag
1. Open the Tags editor.
2. Select the tag that requires security.
Click a security code.
3. In the Security list, click a security code, and then click Accept.
