6.8 Setting Security for Projects
This section explains how to set security for projects to protect the projects and the
data in the projects.
Setting security restricts accesses to projects.
Also, setting security prevents data such as POUs, device comments, and
parameters, which are created by the user, from erroneous modifications or
disclosures to unauthorized users.
POINT
Access levels and access authority
Setting an access level to each user restricts accesses to each data.
An access level is an operating authority given to a login user of the project.
The following five levels are available as the access levels. Data that can be edited by
a user having lower access level can also be edited by a user having higher access
level.
Access level Operating authority
Higher
Lower
Administrators
<Administrator level>
All operations are possible.
Developers (Level 3)
<Developer level>
Security setting, data access, and a part of operations are restricted.
Developers (Level 2)
Developers (Level 1)

<Operator level>
Only access to project data is possible.
Data cannot be read from the programmable controller CPU.
<Example>
The data with access authority of Developers(Level 2) can be edited by login users
with the access level of Developers(Level 2) or higher (Administrators,
Developers(Level 3), or Developers(Level 2)).
