4.3.2 ACCESS PERMISSIONS

Access permissions is an advanced Administration option to allow OEMS to setup the Configuration Suitesoftware to limit access for certain users.For instance, the generator OEM can install the software on the End Users PC and then setup multipleusernames to limit the customers access to only those functions that the OEM requires for the end user.An example of this is to give only SCADA access to a user requiring monitoring, or to give access to read andwrite configuration files, but not to edit a configuration file.

NOTE: - The SCADA text file only affects the alarms page and the event log in the SCADA section.

When youre ready to test your new text file for the SCADA alarms and event log, savethe file with an appropriate name, e.g. the name of the language you are translating it to,to a folder on your computer you know the location of.

When you have saved the new text file for the SCADA alarms, go to the Optionspage(Tools | Options) and click the Browse button for SCADA Module alarm translations tolocate the new text file. When you have selected the new text file for the SCADA alarms,press the Ok button to save the changes.
