User groups
Overview
The devices contain a hierarchy of user groups that regulate access to the devices.
For certain actions (e.g., transferring a configuration to the device), you are requested
to log on with a specific user group. You can view the diagnostic data of a device with
any user group.
You can manage the user groups using either the Safety Designer or the Safety Assis‐
tant app. Depending on your own user group, you can change the passwords of certain
user groups or enable or disable certain user groups.
Important information
NOTICE
If you leave a computer that is connected to devices unattended, you must log out and
switch to the
Machine operator
user group so that unauthorized persons cannot transfer
configurations to the devices.
