System Users

Plant Applications system users include users such as Event Manager, Database Manager, and Alarm Manager. These users have a User ID like the other users, but do not have any login credentials. When the ShowSystemUsersInAdmin site parameter is enabled, the system users are shown under Security Management in the System Users folder. Each user has a set of parameters that are applicable to the service or function they represent. Also useful are additional parameters that can be added and then set, such as DebugMode and FullLogging. These parameters provide the same debug functionality that is now available through Plant Applications Control Services (Server Management > Control Services).
