Associate a Windows user group with a role.

Hi All,

I am facing issue while using the windows users groups with a role. I just want to give Runtime access to the operator & for Engineer/Manager I want to give the access of plant SCADA studio also.

These roles working fine in Runtime(SCADA) but I want to keep restriction over the studio so only engineer can open the application for development etc.

Hi M Norman,

If you use the version of 2020 R2 (8.3) or later, there are some Windows user groups that are created by Plant SCADA installer. These groups are configured in Configurator. In your case, you should add the users with the Engineer role to both groups SCADA.ConfigUsers and SCADA.RuntimeUsers and add the users with the Manager/Operator role to SCADA.RuntimeUsers only.

Please refer to more information from Help below.

Security Role	Description
Configuration Users	Members of this role can run configuration tools (such as Plant SCADA Studio or Computer Setup Wizard) and start the runtime display client and server processes. Note: It is recommended that members of this role only start runtime for development purposes and not in a production system environment.
Runtime Users	Members of this role can run the runtime display client and make local CtAPI connections. Note: Any Windows^® user account that has to start runtime needs to be assigned to this role. See Add the Required Users to the Runtime Users Role.
Server Users	Members of this role can run Plant SCADA as a server process. If you are not running Plant SCADA as a service, add a member to this role who needs to run a Plant SCADA server (including a display client with [CtAPI]Remote enabled).
