Licenses For The Opc Ua Server - Siemens SIMATIC ET 200AL System Manual

Function rights for the OPC UA server
The corresponding function rights must also be enabled for the users of the server function
on an S7-1500 CPU. It is not enough simply to save the user name and password centrally.
Here is an example to illustrate this type of rights use.
1. Under "Security settings > Users and roles", you define a new role in the "Roles" tab with
the name "PLC-opcua-role-all-inclusive", for example.
2. In the "Categories of function rights" section, you navigate to the runtime rights and then
to the CPU function rights, and select the CPU whose function rights you want to set, for
example PLC_2.
3. You will find the following function right in the "Function rights" section:
– OPC UA server access
The role "PLC-opcua-role-all-inclusive" still needs to be assigned to the relevant users
("Users" tab under "Security settings" in the project tree).
