Up to 5 levels of user access are provided - use as many (or as few) as you wish

NOTE:  Use only the levels that you know you need.  Too many levels can be counter-productive.

The designations 'Operator' and 'Configuration' are provided only as a reminder that higher numbers mean a higher level of access in hierarchical mode.

 

For traceability it is recommended that each individual user is given their own ID and password - even if they use the same Level as other users. This is because Password login/logout events can be recorded in the Event Log and the user ID that was logged in at a certain time can be traced.

 

There is also a Button/Strategy Action will display the box for changing passwords.
