Setting user permissions in the "Properties > General > User management" parameter group
Meaning of user management
In user management, you specify which users have which permissions when accessing the S7 station via a Web browser or as an FTP client.
In an alphabetical list, under user name you will find the users that have already been entered for which passwords have been stored.
The "All" entry is present as default. This cannot be modified. It is also not possible to assign a password to this entry.
User entries are always linked to a password. Exception: The "All" entry is not password protected.
|
Note As default, no rights whatsoever are assigned to the "All" entry. For service purposes, however, it is possible to assign permissions. You should, however, remember that any permissions assigned to the "All" user are also available to every other user. If you do assign permissions for service purposes, remember to cancel these again afterwards! Otherwise, you allow services to be executed without authorization with every access. If an access right is set for the "All" user, this is recognizable by the filled check box when you assign rights to other users. |
