permissions
INFO
Create the same permissions on all the connected controllers. If a controller must have different permission settings, do not
broadcast these settings.
Each user is a member of a group. The group gives the user permissions to associated features or functions of the controller.
When a user is assigned to a group, they inherit the permissions for that group.
In the following diagram, you can see the permissions that User 1 and User 2 have to the controller. Both User 1 and User 2 are
members of a basic permission group, and they inherit the permissions from that specific group.

Basic group
User 1
User 2
In the diagram, User 1 and User 2 are members of the Basic group. They have read access to the Alarms, and Log, but they have
no access to the Tools or Configure functions.
Permissions access enables you to easily control which user can access which function. This provides a layer of control for the
operation of the controller.
