Overview of iFIX Groups in Proficy Authentication

Proficy Authentication provides access to the following security groups for iFIX access: scada.fix_shared_IFIX_PROFICY_AUTH_ADMIN, scada.fix.shared.APPLICATION_DESIGNER, scada.fix.shared.OPERATORS, and scada.fix.shared.SUPERVISORS.

The following descriptions explain the access provided for iFIX groups in Proficy Authentication.

scada.fix_shared_IFIX_PROFICY_AUTH_ADMIN: This group allows access to all iFIX application features. Any Proficy Authentication user who is a member of this group will have privileges similar to a native iFIX ADMIN user (except the access to security areas). Proficy Authentication users who want to directly log in to iFIX can use this group.

scada.fix.shared.APPLICATION_DESIGNER: This group allows a user to access Configuration Hub and provides use of iFIX features such as iFIX connection, database, and model management.
This group is not available by default when you upgrade from iFIX 6.1 or 6.5. You must manually create the group with all the iFIX application features as needed.
scada.fix.shared.OPERATORS: This group provides run mode only access for a user in iFIX.
scada.fix.shared.SUPERVISORS: This group provides access to WorkSpace run and configure mode, as well as access to background task exit, iFIX system shut down, and iFIX system user login.
