Access management

A logon dialog is opened to verify access authorization when applications managed with SIMATIC Logon are launched. The user receives their specific privileges after correctly entering the user name, password and domain. The user is rejected if the input is incorrect. Dialogs for logging off, changing user or password may be opened from the application.

Role management

The users, classified into groups at the operating system level, are associated by groups with the roles defined in the application and are assigned authorizations.

Event display

The Event Log Viewer records and displays the events for an application.

Electronic signature

The electronic signature means that operations cannot be performed until enabled by a previously authorized user. Authorization is assigned in the application by linking the users grouped at operating system level via the group with operations.

Note:

At the moment this function is implemented as a system function only on SIMATIC BATCH. The electronic signature can, however, also be flexibly implemented for specific applications.

Development Kit

The Development Kit uses an example to show the programmer how to embed SIMATIC Logon into a customer application.
