User policy

Idekit Visual emulator for windows are now capable of advanced user policy options. User policy is not supported on other mobile devices (Android, iOS devices) where a single user is expected as these are personal devices.

User policy administration is based on principle of groups and users. Each user can be assigned to multiple groups.

Group administration

User groups can be created under "PLC" or "Terminal" device.

Those user groups are shared across multiple devices.

Administration of users can be found at "PLC" and "Terminal" device types. The editor allows to create new users, assign groups for the users and change the rights of a user.

A user can be assigned to more than one group. It can have assigned all groups, or groups can be selected by the check box "All". This checkbox ensures that every new group will be automatically assigned to this user. This option is by default selected by the user "Admin", who is expected to be able to see and control all pages on web server, or Idekit Visual on Windows.
