Granting Permissions for Access to Server Objects
For access to objects of the CODESYS Automation Server, permissions can be granted so that specific users, user groups, or roles are granted or denied access to individual objects. Assignment is done directly at the respective object. The permissions are granted in a dialog on the CODESYS Automation Server for the respective object and are also displayed there. In this dialog, you can also assign an alternative role in addition to the access permission. The permissions of the role selected here are thereby additionally granted. Moreover, the permission can be granted to a user, group, or role in order for themselves to grant permissions to the object. The option for this authorization is disabled by default.
Permissions can be granted for the following objects:
Projects in the view
PLCs in the view → List View
Gateways in the view → Gateways
Topology view in the view → Topology Views
Templates in the view
Data Analyzer Projects
An administrator can always modify the permissions for objects. By default, the creator and all higher roles have access to the object and can also edit the permissions. By default, the other users do not have access to the object and also cannot grant permissions. When assigning roles, a user cannot assign roles higher than his own role.
