You can configure a user account so that users that log on via the account can only access certain Explorer Bars. For example, you can choose to limit a user account so that it only has access to the Queries Bar and cannot access the Database Bar or OPC Bars. This is useful when there are users that only require limited access to the system, for example, there may be management level users that only require access to the current data on the system and so only need to use the Queries Bar.
Use the ViewX tab on a User Form to define which Explorer Bars a user can access when they log on from a ViewX client:
- Display the User Form.
- Select the ViewX tab.
- Select the check box for each Explorer Bar that you want to be made available to the user that logs on via this account.
The Explorer Bars are:
- Database—Provides access to the system's database items.
- OPC Data—Provides access to the OPC tags for the system's database items.
- Favorites—Provides access to the user's selected favorite displays.
- Queries—Provides access to SQL Query lists.
- OPC Historic—Provides access to the OPC Historic tags for the system's database items.
- Operator Documents—Provides access to the documents that are included in the operator document store for the user. For more information on Operator Document Stores, see Operator Document Stores in the ClearSCADA Guide to ViewX and WebX Clients.
- Areas of Interest—Provides access to the Areas of Interest hierarchy that you can use to create and re-organize a hierarchy of Areas. For more information, see Restrict Alarm and Event Access to Specific Areas of Interest in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration.
Clear the check box for each explorer bar that you want to be unavailable to the user that logs on via this account.
- Save the configuration.
