Setting up the first user account

Add a new user

You must be logged into Windows and DeltaV as an administrator in order to add users. In a domain environment, you must be a domain administrator to create domain-level accounts.

  1. Click FileNewUser.

    The New User dialog appears.

  2. Type the Name, usually only the last name, and tab to the next field or click the next field. Do not press Enter or click the OK button until you have made all your selections for this user account.
    Note

    If you press Enter, the new user account is created with all the default settings of Windows and DeltaV Account types, but no Download or Configure privileges. To add these privileges, you need to edit the user account properties by clicking the user's name and selecting FileProperties.

  3. Type the Full Name and tab to the next field.
  4. You must enter a password and inform the person of the password.
  5. Confirm the password in the next field.
  6. Select both Account Types.

    DeltaV accounts are global. Windows accounts are specific to each workstation. A user's DeltaV account is only usable on a workstation when the Windows account is also enabled for that user on the workstation. You must enable a Windows account for each DeltaV user on every workstation on which that user runs the DeltaV system.

  7. Select a role for this user. Roles are used to assign users to groups and to assign permissions and Group Policy Objects.
  8. Click the Advanced tab.
  9. Fill in any other information as appropriate for your usage environment.
  10. If the user should have Download or Configure privileges, click the Keys tab and add these privileges. (These tabs are described briefly in topic: The Groups and Keys tabs.)
  11. Click OK.
  12. Close the User Manager application.
