FuelsManager Defense
38 Administrator Manual
Users and Groups
FuelsManager follows the typical user and user group security model. The system
administrator creates user groups and assigns privileges to these groups that
restrict the specific FuelsManager features that the group is allowed to access.
The administrator then assigns users to these groups. Users assigned to a user
group can access the FuelsManager features defined for the group.
Note! Users are only allowed to
belong to one user group.
By default FuelsManager provides two preconfigured user groups: Operator and
Administrator. It is possible to create new user groups to build a security model
that matches the needs of the particular facility.
Note! To be added to
FuelsManager the user must also
exist as a Windows user – the
particular Windows user group and
permissions assigned to that group
do not matter.
In addition to defining which categories the user group can access (see above),
the administrator can control the specific system features a user group has access
to. These privileges are divided into two sections:
• System permissions – these apply to the overall FuelsManager system and
control general access to features like configuring the database or deleting
database points.
• Tag permissions – these apply to previously defined tag categories and
control access to features specific to a database point like setting the level
high-high alarm limit or executing a gauge command.
Note! A complete list of system
and tag permissions is provided
later in this section.
Creating and Editing Users
User accounts can be created in the Security dialog box. Once the FuelsManager
user account is created, the user can then be added to a User Group.
Furthermore, the administrator can delete, rename or define properties for the
user.
