The DeltaV Server and the remote workstation runtime databases must be synchronized for the DeltaV system to work properly. To keep the databases synchronized, download the workstation every time you make changes to user accounts or user security configuration. To avoid conflicting settings and keep the runtime databases synchronized, perform the administration of DeltaV accounts on the DeltaV database server only (the Professional or ProfessionalPLUS workstation).
