USER ADMINISTRATION
The user administration is used for creating users and assigning particular user
privileges (roles) to the users. Administration also includes editing and deleting of
users.
Roles and Privileges A role determines the privileges that the user will have when working with ARENA.
A role with its determining privileges is pre-defined and cannot be changed. User
privileges of a certain user can be changed by assigning another role. In ARENA,
the following role – user privileges combinations are assignable to users:
Role User Privileges
Manager Service privileges plus:
Creation, edition and deletion of users with lower roles.
Service Keeper privileges plus:
Changes of datapoint attribute, parameters, network variables and
time programs. Adjustments for installation and scanning. Alarm
acknowledgement. Creation, edition and deletion of users with
lower roles
Keeper Viewer privileges plus:
Time program changes (incl. setpoints). Alarm acknowledgement.
Creation, edition and deletion of users with lower roles
Viewer Viewing statistics and reports generation.
As the table shows, the predefined roles are arranged hierarchically and the
sequence with descending priority is as follows:
• Manager
• Service
• Keeper
• Viewer
Example:
When assigning the ´Service` role to a user, a user having a role below ´Service`,
for example ´Keeper`, is not able to change datapoint attributes. A user having a
role equal to or higher than ´Service`, for example ´Manager` is able to change
datapoint attributes.
The table shows, that the logged user can create, modify and delete users with a
role lower than its own.
User Profile For each user within a project, a user profile with the following properties will be
created:
• User name
• Role (User privilege)
• Password
• Access Restrictions (definable per site local or remote)
A user is identified by its user name.
One of the predefined roles will be appropriately assigned to the user (name). This
assignment automatically determines the user privileges, which the user are allowed
to execute in the ARENA he is logged in. All users having a role higher than or
equal to the assigned role will have this user privilege enabled in ARENA, all others
will not.
