You can secure this feature by implementing a range of controls against the affected programs. Although not all these controls are applicable to each feature, they include the following:

  • You can restrict operator access to activities within a program (configured using the Operator Maintenance program).
  • You can restrict operator access to the fields within a program (configured using the Operator Maintenance program).
  • You can restrict operator access to functions within a program using passwords (configured using the Password Definition program). When defined, the password must be entered before you can access the function.

  • You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to roles and applying access control against the role (configured using the Role Management program).
