Enable web application security

Web application security limits which user groups can view web application displays. If enabled, permissions set in FactoryTalk ViewPoint Administration determine which actions user groups can perform. Users will be required to log in to access web applications.

Users viewing a published web application when web application security is enabled must refresh their browsers and log in using their FactoryTalk Directory credentials.

To enable web application security

1. Open FactoryTalk ViewPoint Administration.
2. From the navigation bar, click Security Settings.
3. (Optional) If it is not selected, click the Secured Displays tab.
4. Select the Enable Application Security check box.
5. Select an application, area, or display from the list, and then select the Write or View check boxes to assign permissions to each user group.
6. Click Save.
