Re: [foxboro] [Maybe spam] Re: Foxboro I/A OPC - Security

Your alarm managers can be configured using the Display and Alarm Manager
configurator.  Basically, each button can either be removed or assigned a
protection class.
If you would like some "bedtime reading" on the subject, chapter 4 of
B0193RV - Workstation Alarm Management covers this topic.
Also, Please excuse the following blatant marketing...this is also a very
useful topic that is covered in our 2003, Advanced I/A series tools workshop
that people tend to overlook. 
Finally, I will be more than happy to help if you wish some specific
guidance on parts of the task.

How do you restrict access to block detail from alarm managers and standard=
 button bar?

My opinion (for what it's worth) is that if someone has been granted
"inside" access to configurator-level functions, then he should be trusted
enough to NOT run commands unrelated to his function.  Now, confusing or
misleading commands that can be run by mistake are entirely different.  My
biggest headache has been closing the doors which Foxboro products leave
open as "standard", such as access to block detail from the alarm managers
and standard button bar.  Of course, system backups are the obvious
"repair" strategy.
