Configuring User Privileges

All DCS users do not have the privilege to get all the features from administrator to low level associated with the control system.

The default user is ‘root’ and it is not usually sufficient for developers. It is recommended to define a user with all privileges unless otherwise specified for the development purposes.

Follow the steps given below to define a user with administrator (or selected if specified) privileges.

1. Click on the "Jcop Framework" tab, select "Access Control" from the dropdown menu and select the option "AC Toolbar" from the extended menu.

   

2. Right click on the key icon of the popup dialog box and select "Administrator" option.

   

3. Select "Domains" and click on the "Add" button of the "Access Control Domains" panel.

   

4. Fill in the fields Domain name, Domain full name, if necessary include a Domain comment and click the "Create" button.
