    How can I limit which SCADA pages each user can open?

    Our project has about 25 pages: overview, each process area, a maintenance page with motor run hours, and a settings page with setpoints. Right now everyone who logs into the client sees every page.
    The quality team should only see the overview and the two process pages related to them, and only the shift engineers should reach the setpoint page. I created users in the User Editor, but I can't find where to set roles or permission levels. How is this supposed to be done in Omnivex SCADA?

    In Omnivex SCADA, access is not based on role levels. It's based on which pages and alarms each user is subscribed to. Once you see it that way, your requirement maps quite directly.
    1. Create the users
    In the User Editor (Insert > General Management), each user has User ID, User Name, First Name, Last Name, Email and Password. Create individual accounts rather than one per department, so you know who did what.
    2. Assign pages
    For each user, fill in Subscribed Pages with the pages they should see. For the quality team that's the overview and their two process pages. For the shift engineers, add the setpoint page.
    3. Set page access
    On the page side, use the User Access setting in the page properties to define which users can open the page. Do this especially for the setpoint page, so it's protected even if it's linked from another page.
    4. Alarms
    Use Subscribed Alarms so each user only receives the alarms relevant to them. Quality doesn't need motor overload alarms, and seeing them trains people to ignore alarms.
    5. Test
    Log in on a client with a quality user and check: the expected pages are available, navigation buttons to restricted pages don't open them, and the alarm list only shows their alarms.
    Tip: Use the File tab's Import/Export Users to keep a copy of the user setup, or to prepare many users in Excel at once.
