Workflow Users and Personnel Classes

People are the users that are configured to have access to your facility's processes.

Workflow identifies each user with a login name, a password, and an optional e-mail address. Users can belong to one or more groups. When a user belongs to a group, he or she inherits all the key sets assigned to the group. The user can have separate key sets in addition to the group key sets.

When you are designing your security plan, always include the full name, login name, and password for each user. If you plan to use Windows security, you should also include the domain name if you want to store the user information on a domain controller.

User information is configured using both the Security Editor and the S95 Model Editor.

Personnel Classes

A personnel class is a group of properties that are common between users. For example, you may have an operator class that contains properties related to shift schedules or machine qualifications. Personnel classes can be applied only to users and multiple classes can be applied to a given user.
