WinCC Unified - User Control, Log-In, Log-Off

Hello!

I need to do a User Management, Login system for a WinCC Unified Comfort Panel. Has anybody some experience about it?  I would like to do a local user management system, not the UMC server version.

I need a Login screen where the users can write the login names and passwords, and an other screen where the admin user can add new members.

Thanks for the helps!

Hello szecsi!

Im pretty sure u cant create or remove users in runtime.

Hello,

I wanted to do the same as you, and after a lot of searching, i found a reasonable solution.

1. I dont want my operators to have acces to the OS of the panel, so i disabled the taskbar. (so they cant swipe on the screen and get into OS)

*You can disable it in the system properties menu, under taskbar. Note: You wont be able to exit runtime (except when you make a button "stop runtime"and give it the event "StopRuntime"

2. You cant make a control for user management, because its embedded in the OS of the MTP Panels. But.... You can make a button "user management" and give it the event "ShowControlPanel" and give the "homepage" property the following name: "Security.UserManagement". 

This opens the usermanagement in popup screen, that will be what you want to have.

I hope this info helps you out!

This was an answer for the question: "Hi! Thank you for yoir reply!And what about the Login? How do you solve the Login method? The Logoff method is clear for me"

Hi Szecsi Tamas,

You can solve this by next method:

Make an I/O field => use following settings as in my attached screenshot.

What you are actually doing is giving the highest authorisation possible on the I/O field.
That way, when you click on it at the screen, the login menu pops up. Thats a menu you can't change or can't get acces to in another way, only by giving an authorisation higher than the current logged in user. You will see what i mean when you test this on your HMI.

(If u want an actually "Log in" button, just make a button with the text "Log in" and give that a high authorisation instead of the I/O field.)

You can see i put a dynamisation proces value, i used the internal tag "@username". It is a tag that you dont have to make, beacause its already predefined. That way, when a user is logged in, you can see the name of the current logged in user. 

Note: If you want to test this, you cant test this over websimulation, because you already logged in with a user to open your simulation, that user will show in the I/O field at the simulation.

I hope this is what you're looking for, succes!

 For LogIn you can use the event: ShowLoginDialog

Hi Mattie,

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think that this event excists in WinCC Unified.
