RSView ME: Pushbutton Security

[gareth.cantrill]

Is there any way that I can add security to a pushbutton?

I only want the button to be available if the correct user is logged in.

However, I still want users to be able to access the screen to view the status of the item.

Under Animation > Visibility, click on Expression. Under Function > Function Categories, you will find Security. You can set visibilty of the button if the logged-in user has the proper level of security 9see security codes), or if the logged-in user's password matches the password set in the string (CurrentUserName() - name of current user).

I have been a bigger fan of putting a seperate logon for the specific function. ie Put a button on the screen called "Log On". This button writes a value to the PLC which if correct sets the visibility (and enable) of another button you wish only certain people to use. I usually have a logout as well + a timed log out in the PLC.
