USERS: what to do?

[marl0rd]

There is a list of users in the Project Model. The main idea is to have authorization to see things in the display... What more can be done?

It makes sense to have users when there is a centralized database, where multiple users can change the data. In our case we have a embedded local database which is supposed to be used just by one user. I don't see the benefit of having users using a local database

Yes. You are right with using database, but actually this entity is to log into the SCADA. For example:

• Operators: When an operator enter in the SCADA using the username and password the button to increase the speed of a motor is disabled.
• Engineers: When an engineer enter in the SCADA using the username and password the button to increase the speed is enabled.

Of course, this is handled by a welcome dialog in the SCADA to be logged. This a future feature really...

It looks more like a role than an user

[marl0rd]

Yes it does..
