Option | Description |
Use Hierarchical Security | Enable this option if you plan to set up hierarchy rights in User Management for users with User and Read Only security permissions. Hierarchical security allows you to assign users access rights to certain hierarchy folders in the Select ROWs window. When a user does not have access rights to a hierarchy folder, PCS Axis does not display the folder in the Select ROWs window. |
Requires Windows Password | If you want users to enter their Windows password when logging in to PCS Axis, click the option Requires Windows Password. When this option is disabled, the system automatically logs in users with their Windows login credentials (user name and password combination). |
