To make sure that you can view Security Center entities on OPC Clients, you must configure the user whose credentials will be used to connect the OPC Server to Security Center.

Before you begin

Create a user in Security Center.

What you should know

The user whose credentials are used to connect the OPC Server to Security Center determines which entities are exposed to OPC Clients. For a Security Center entity to be exposed, the user must have the user privilege to view that entity, and they must be an administrator of the partition that the entity is a member of.

Procedure

  1. From the home page in Config Tool, open the User management task.
  2. Select the user, and click the Privileges tab.
  3. Set the following privileges to Allow:
    • Log on using the SDK
    • View area properties
    • View camera properties
    • View door properties
  4. Click Apply.
  5. Click the Access rights tab.
  6. Select the checkbox beside the partitions you want to grant access rights for.
    This action automatically grants access rights for all its child partitions.
  7. For each partition that you granted access rights for, select the checkbox in the Administrator column.
  8. Click Apply.
