All (Administrator): Data collection is unrestricted. Clock, writable variables and settings can 
be changed. Programs can be viewed, stopped, deleted, and retrieved. Hidden tables can 
be viewed. Files, including programs can be sent to the data logger.
NOTE:
All levels of access allow data collection. 
Starting with OS version 11.0, the .csipasswd file must be updated with Device Configuration 
Utility. The data logger will no longer accept .csipasswd files sent with web API commands or 
from the RTMC Web Publisher. If you are using the RTMC Web Publisher to publish directly to a 
data logger you will now need to configure the .csipasswd with Device Configuration Utility.
NOTE:
Ethernet over USB (RNDIS) is considered a direct communications connection. Therefore, it is 
a trusted connection and Administrator privileges are automatically granted for all 
functionality (csipasswd does not apply).
Create an encrypted password file or modify an existing password file using Device Configuration 
Utility:
1.  Connect to your device in Device Configuration Utility.
2.  Click the Network Services tab, then the Edit .csipasswd File button.
3.  Define user accounts and access levels.
4.  Click Apply. The .csipasswd file is automatically saved to the data logger CPU drive.
When access to the data logger web interface is attempted without the appropriate security level, 
the data logger will prompt for a username and password. If an invalid username or password is 
entered, the data logger will default to the level of access assigned to “anonymous”. As noted 
previously, anonymous is assigned a user level of read-only, though this can be changed using 
Device Configuration Utility.
When a .csipasswd file is used, the  PakBus/TCP Password security setting is not used when 
accessing the data logger via HTTP.
CAUTION:
The .csipasswd file is not reset or deleted when setting the data logger back to factory 
defaults or formatting the CPU drive.
