Option 2.2.1. Set Point Security

Set point security options

(Optional) Check any of the following check boxes to enable set point security.


	Check box	Description
A	Enable resource set point security	Restricts set point privileges to only the resources for which a project user has access.
		Example POINT_A has been defined for RESOURCE_1
		If:	RESOURCE_1 is an authorized resource for USER_X. Enable resource set point security is enabled.
		Then:	USER_X can perform setpoints on POINT_A.
		If:	RESOURCE_1 is not an authorized resource for USER_X. Enable resource set point security is enabled.
		Then:	USER_X cannot perform setpoints on POINT_A.
		Note: Resources are assigned to users in the User Properties dialog box.
B	Enable level setpoint security	Restricts a project user's point setpoint privilege to only points that are assigned levels equal to or lower than the project user's role level.
		Example A Discrete_Oper user is assigned the role Oper in the User Properties dialog box. Oper is assigned a Level 10 in the Role Properties dialog box.
		The Discrete_Oper user can set only device points that have been assigned a level that is smaller or equal to 10.
C	Enable set point password	Restricts access to the setpoint functions to users who know the password. The CIMPLICITY default is unrestricted access.
		Password		Required to perform setpoint actions.
		Confirm Password		Confirms the password.

Result: Project users who fulfill the criteria will be able to set points for a selected resource or device point.


If	Then
An Enterprise Server project contains the same resources as the provider of a point,	Setpoint Security for the point is enforced against the resource in the Enterprise Server project.
The resource is not configured on the Enterprise Server project,	Setpoint Security for the point is enforced against the remote project's resource.

The DONT_VERIFY_ESPOINT_FRID global parameter is available to change this behavior.
