Step 3. Configure Process Systems Roles

Two default roles are added to the project when Process Systems is enabled.

They are:

A ENGINEER role default.
B GUEST role default.
Important: If you already have either an ENGINEER and/or GUEST role defined in your system, it will be overwritten by the Proficy Process Systems ENGINEER and/or GUEST roles.

ENGINEER Role Default

The Engineer role, by default: is assigned the following.

Privileges

1 Is assigned a Level of 200. A 200 Level is required to perform several faceplate functions.
2 Assigned all privileges.

Configuration

When Configuration Security is enabled, the Engineer role, by default, is assigned all configuration privileges.

GUEST Role Default

The Guest role, by default, is assigned the following.

Privileges

1 Is assigned a Level of 0. A guest will be able to review the faceplate, but will not be able to affect it's function or status.
2 Assigned no privileges.

Configuration

Important: When Configuration Security is enabled, all roles, by default, are assigned all configuration privileges.

This means that the guest, by default, will have Objects checked which allows a guest to use the Object Builder to build objects from the EGD Server.

It is strongly recommended that you remove these privileges and use the guest role as a read-only role.
