3.8 Project protection and user administration

3.8 Project protection and user administration
Overview
You can also use the user administration 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Project protection once setup cannot be withdrawn again.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
1) To be able to administer users and roles of the project, the user requires the function right "Open project reading/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.
