7 Establishing a connection and diagnostics
7.2 Cooperation areas
The users of the source organization see the organizations for which the machine
is released and the users of the target organization see the organization that is
making a machine accessible. This applies to the "administrator", "system startup
engineer", and "service engineer" user roles on a PC; users on the control are un-
able to see that it is an external machine.
To end cooperation, either the administrator of the source organization can remove
the machine from the cooperation area (cancel access rights of other organization)
or the administrator of the target organization can reject the machine from the co-
operation area.
In both cases, the administrators can choose whether the recipients in the target
organization will be removed from the notification configuration of the machine or
whether they are kept. The other settings (configuration of monitors, service case
notification configuration, etc.) are kept on the machine.
Fig. 7-18: Multiple release of machines
Cooperation area between one end user with a large machine park and various
OEMs or service providers. One machine can be released simultaneously to sev-
eral organizations (machine "Mach 1" surrounded by thick border)
As soon as the machine has been removed from the cooperation area, the target
organization and its users cannot access the data of the machine until it is released
again.
If recipients in the target organization are still in the notification configuration of the
machine they will continue to receive service case notifications etc. if an alarm oc-
curs until they are deleted by the source organization.
