Setting Up Security Users with Edit Mode

 

In ‘Control Files', Security Groups (to the top left of the main page) will create/name security groups. These will then be allocated to the user via the MEX User tab in Security Users> Details, in the ‘Current Users’ box, which will allocate the user to a group and therefore apply security to that account. You will notice that ticks to the left of this screen pertain to the type of user, so Prestarts and MEXOps Users have less access than MEX Users, and MEX Users utilize a full license and full access to MEX (before security is added in) :

 

Now, you can add security to each group. If you haven’t created Security Groups yet, you can do this in Control Files>Security Setup> (Lower left-hand side) Security Groups (these are blank before assigning security to them in Edit Mode):

 


 

 Head back to the wherever you are wanting to apply security for that group, and click on the three black lines/ hamburger menu and select Edit Mode. This opens a floating menu- select the ‘Security’ tab and the security group from the drop-down box, This is a click- and drag function to apply, clear and see securities on each group:

 

 

Essentially, the admin/ maintenance manager defines who can see what, inside of the type of User (Prestart can use only Prestart; MEXOps can use only MEXOps, MEX Users can use everything).
