I'm sure this has been asked before somewhere else, but can a WinCC Client machine be configured in such a way to prevent users from logging in? All significant actions on the project have a security clearance, so if no-one is logged in, an operator cannot change or operate anything.

Generallya WinCC Multiclient has its own user management in User Administrator. So you can have different users on each Client. If you want a special client where no user can log in you do not have to create any users. With no users configured you are automatically logged in with the default Administrator account without beeing prompted with a login dialog. You then can assign individual user rights to this default Administrator account so that he can do minimum of operation (e.g. just monitor the screens but no change or operations)

Nemo Posts: 3149 Rating: (171)	Hi Ranr_mids, at the moment it´s not too clear, whether you want A) or B) A) no one can login => not any operation can be done with WinCC??? B) ONLY a predefined WinCC standard-user should be automatically logged in at WinCC/computer start B) http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19141675 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/1947167 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/16737355 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/15390777 Good luck, Nemo

My Customer requires a PC inan officethat can only view the SCADA project. It is not clear if this machine will have multiple Windows users, but it should have only one fixed WinCC user, that can only view the SCADA, not change any values or operate any controls.

The main difference between WebNavigator and DataMonitor is that WN is a full control web client whereas DM is a view only client.

Also, would it be possible to configure a single Client Station to automatically log in as a user without certain rights, and disable the normal Login function?

Freddy mentioned that I could set up a list of users for each Client, but I am unsure how to do this. Whenever I try to edit the users in User Administrator, it alters users on the Project, not the PC. The 'Data Monitor' package does not seem to offer what I need. The 'Web Navigator' seems an expensive WinCC replacement which would still leave me the problem of people being able to log in and operate the plant. I need a to configure a Client machine with a fixed, specified, low-access User who can only navigate from screen to screen. Thanks in advance.
