How to authorize users to configure SIMATIC Logon
Introduction
SIMATIC Logon and SIMATIC Electronic Signature simplify the validation of plants in
accordance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11. In plants in which SIMATIC components are used, the
validation of the plant can be performed using the following components:
● SIMATIC Logon
Assign user-specific permissions
● SIMATIC Electronic Signature
Query and archive the required documentation
If you want to use the SIMATIC Logon for access protection in a PCS 7 plant, you need to add
users who want to configure SIMATIC Logon to the "Logon_Administrator" user group. Enter
these users in one of the following groups:
● On the local PC -
In the local Windows "Logon_Administrator" group
● In a domain that is accessible from the local PC -
In the "Logon_Administrator" Windows group in the Active Directory
Note
The local Windows group "Logon_Administrator" is created automatically when you install
SIMATIC Logon.
Basic procedure
1. Open the user management.
2. Select the "Logon_Administrator" group in the list.
3. Assign all users who want to work with the "Configure SIMATIC Logon" dialog box to the
'Logon_Administrator" group.
Note
You should only assign users to the "Logon_Administrator" Windows group. If you assign
subgroups to the "Logon_Administrator" Windows group, the members of the subgroups
will be blocked from accessing the "Configure SIMATIC Logon" dialog box. It is not possible
to authenticate any members of a subgroup.
Users in a Windows domain
Note
SIMATIC Logon users must be direct members of a Windows group. These users may not be
members of a subgroup of a Windows group.
