Hey Guys, i'm a student working as an intern and I have a task that I need a bit of support on.
I have been asked to configure the system to use Windows-Linked user accounts. I added a group to the active directory with members, and linked the FT group to the newly created windows group along with updating the Runtime Security letters for each member. I have 5 members in the group { Engineer, Operator, Supervisor, Maintenance, Admin }.
\\\
At the moment, the PLC controls the user login and stores the credentials. Once an operator / supervisor logs in, the appropriate access is given via the HMI, etc.
\\\
I have been asked to forget about the PLC, and see if I can manipulate the user login / log off via the Windows Group I have created.
I've attached a pic of the displays I have with this project. Each member will have some access to these displays, weather they are supervisors, engineers, etc. I am thinking of using the Goto Display function, but I am not sure if this is the right path.
The plan is to add logon button to the <Main Menu> Display, then I want to jump to <Encapsulation> for example if the <Operator> logs in.
Is the GoTo function the best approach?
Any help would be appreciated,
All the best.
