“Access Control“ Dialog

In the “Access Control“ dialog, you can manage user access and user roles. In addition to accounts created by users themselves (“internal users”), it is also possible to manage user accounts and log into them from an external authentication system (“external users”).

If a password is assigned to a solution when it is created, user management is enabled automatically, and the solution owner (“Owner“ role) is created. When user management is switched on, there must always be at least one user with the “Owner“ role.

If an initial user is created later with the “Owner“ role, user management will be enabled automatically and cannot be disabled afterwards.

Designation	Description
	Imports usernames from an external authentication system. As a general rule, the suffix “external” is added for all external users. In the login process, these users have secondary priority, i.e., an internal user is always logged in before an external user. The corresponding external authentication system must be selected for the solution in advance in the 8 “Authentication Settings” Area and stored as a fixed rule. For external users, the username and password can only be edited in the corresponding authentication system. Only the username is displayed in the WAGO Solution Builder software!
