Set Up User Security
- User Account Overview
  Users consist of both operators and GE administrators. In Application Assembler (ThingWorx), a GE administrator creates and maintains user and group accounts for access to Web HMI environments.
- Access the Application Assembler
  Set up security for Web HMI users and groups in the Application Assembler.
- Create User Accounts
  You create user accounts by duplicating the default user templates, GEAdmin and GEUser. All settings are inherited from these default user templates except for the password and group membership.
- Assign Users to a Group
  As a GE administrator, you assign users duplicated from the GEUser or GEAdmin user template to the appropriate group.
- Change User Passwords
  GE administrators can change existing user passwords when needed.
- Define LDAP Settings
  Use the LDAP Directory Services in Application Assembler (ThingWorx) to manually edit Web HMI users to exactly match the user names in Active Directory, and then assign them to groups.
- Configure Active Directory Authentication
  Application Assembler (ThingWorx) provides the ActiveDirectory template for you to duplicate to create a directory service for each one of your AD domain servers.
