FIFE-500 MAX Narrow Web Guide
3.6 Security Strategy
The FIFE-500 MAX Web Guiding System can be configured with security features to prevent
unauthorized changes to the various settings that can be changed from the menu system,
such as gain, polarity, etc. Security features are disabled by default but are easily configured
and enabled. Access to every menu is individually programmable for one of three
authorization levels. The following text describes the customer-configurable security
strategy.
3.6.1 Authorization Levels
Security features are designed around three authorization levels with three access modes for
each level. When security is enabled, the current login authorization level is indicated by a
“key” icon in the status bar with the authorization level next to it. Level 1 has the lowest
privileges and level 3 has the highest. If security is not in use, these icons will not appear.
The three authorization levels and their associated icons are described below.
OPERATOR LEVEL 1 This level requires no password knowledge
and is intended to have the most restrictions.
PRIVILEDGED OPERATOR/SUPERVISOR This level is intended for
operators who are able to make some adjustments.
ADMINISTRATOR The administrator normally has unrestricted
access to all menus, but if desired, even this level can be
configured for restricted access to any menu as long as it is not
related to administrative activities.
