Role management

Opens the "SIMATIC Logon Role Management" dialog box.
SIMATIC Logon Role Management is the SIMATIC Logon component used to create roles
and assign Windows groups and users as well as operational permissions to the roles.
Role management is used to regulate access to applications and functions by users and
groups.
Access protection forces users to log on to the system if they want to use an application or
function.
By default in SIMATIC PDM, no roles are administered, that is, there is no user assigned to a
role. In order to manage roles in SIMATIC Logon, the user must be in the Windows group
"Logon_Administrator".
Function rights and roles
You can create new roles yourself and provide them with function rights. Function rights allows
access to specific SIMATIC PDM functions. They are preset by the software and can neither
be changed nor deleted.
It is not possible to create new function rights.
Function rights in SIMATIC PDM:
● Access to the command interface
● "Parameter View" menu command
● "Device" menu command
● "View" menu command
● "Diagnostics" menu command
● "Service" menu command
● "Write to device" menu command
● "Read from device" menu command
