To do this, you must be logged-in as the model administrator.
Assigning privileges in the user management, as well as assigning access rights in the model editor and assigning of execution rights in the configuration editor based on these roles. This means that all users who belong to these roles as members have the corresponding rights.
If you are in non-single sign-on models, then these roles (and users) are managed locally.
You need to create roles with the same name that you want to use in the model in the central user management for single sign-on models. A normal user cannot log-in to the model unless they have at least one role.
The Roles table in the tab of the same name contains the following columns and information:
- Name: Role's name which can be changed
- User Logins: Number of users logged-in to the model in the role via the Innovator login dialog
