About this chapter
This chapter describes password procedures and levels of access in the system.

Overview

To safeguard the interests of our customers, both the IED and the tools that are
accessing the IED are protected, subject of authorization handling. The concept of
authorization, as it is implemented in the IED and in PCM600 is based on the
following facts:
There are two types of access points to the IED:
• local, through the local HMI
• remote, through the communication ports
There are different levels (or types) of users that can access or operate different areas
of the IED and tools functionality. The pre-defined user types are given in table below.
The IED users can be created, deleted and edited only with the User Management Tool
(UMT) within PCM600. The user can only LogOn or LogOff on the local HMI on the
IED, there are no users, groups or functions that can be defined on local HMI.
Only characters A - Z, a - z and 0 - 9 should be used in user names and
passwords.
At least one user must be included in the UserAdministrator group to be
able to write users, created in PCM600, to IED.

LogOn or logOff
