Project Protection And User Administration - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Commissioning Manual

2.8

Project protection and user administration

You can also use the user management in the TIA Portal for Startdrive projects. In this way,
for example, a project can be protected against unintentional or unauthorized modification. A
user sets up the project protection to activate user management. This user is created as a
project administrator. Once the project protection has been activated, the project can only be
opened and edited by authorized users.
Note
Withdrawing project protection
Project protection once setup cannot be withdrawn again.
Users
A project administrator must add users and user groups. The following user and user groups
are permissible:
● Local project users
Users who are defined and managed in a TIA Portal project. These user accounts are
only valid for one TIA Portal project. It makes sense to use project user accounts if the
entire automation solution is developed in one project.
● Global users and user groups
These user accounts are defined and managed outside the TIA Portal in UMC (User
Management Component). You can import global users and user groups into the different
TIA Portal projects with which these users are to work. To add users and user groups
from UMC, the corresponding rights are required in UMC.
You can assign specific roles to users or user groups, which in turn can be linked to different
function rights.
Function rights
There are the following general function rights to which a role can be assigned:
Function right
Open a project, read access only
Open project reading / writing
Managing users and roles
To be able to administer users and roles of the project, the user requires the function right "Open project read-
1)
ing/writing".
In addition to these general function rights, further engineering and runtime rights can be
assigned. The descriptions of these specific function rights can be found in the
corresponding areas of the help. Several function rights can be assigned to a role.
