ION Enterprise Software Security

 

 

ION Enterprise Software Security

The ION software security system limits how you can view meter data and send configuration changes to ION meters. You must have a valid user account to log on to any ION software application. Your access level determines the type of operations you can perform.

Security Access Levels

Security access levels define how you can use the software to view and acknowledge meter data or set up configuration changes that are sent to a meter. The table below summarizes the user accounts and their permissions.

 

Supervisor (5)

Operator (4)

Controller (3)

NOTE

Vista control objects have a default “may operate” setting of Controller(3). If you want individuals with “User” security access to be able to perform a control object’s double-click action, you must change the “may operate” level to User(2).

Note that ION software access will not necessarily give you access rights to view or configure meter information.

For example, you’ve logged on to Designer at the supervisor access level (Standard security is enabled). If you change one of the ION module settings and then send this change to the meter, the meter requests its own password before executing the change. In other words, supervisor-level access grants you the authority to modify settings in ION software, but the meter provides its own, second layer of security.

If Advanced security is enabled on the meter you must supply a user name and password to connect to the meter and view data.
