Authorization

The customer’s FactoryTalk Remote Access organization contains all the organization resources: users, groups and devices. The organization administrator can design the organization and its rules to map any Rockwell Automation 9 Security Architecture kind of organizational structure. Specifically, new users and groups can be created to map the organization properly and make configuration easier and more scalable.

Policies and permission rules can be applied to single resources or folders to apply them in a hierarchical way.

Finally, the Web API and the Access Server will enforce types of operations (such as remote desktop or file transfer) that will be allowed for a certain user of a certain resource (such as a remote device).

The FactoryTalk Remote Access online help describes all the ways authorization rules can be configured.
