    Checking active user right

    Checking active user right

    Hello Nexeed Development Team,

    I want to know if there is a posibility to check in TwinCAT what is the current user right active.

    As an example of what i am trying to achieve, I want to set a Boolean variable to TRUE whenever EditData104 is active and turn it back to FALSE otherwise.

    Assuming that there is a workaround in CPS for this as well i am open to suggestions.

    Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

    The add-on "Hmi Utililties" (NxHmiUtilAddon) shows you the user rights of the HMI.

    Keep in mind that on every HMI a different user can be logged in! That means you need one add-on for each HMI.

    If you want to block buttons or switches in the HMI, you should not use a Boolean PLC variable, but use the authorization property of the HMI Smart Control properties:

    Using this property shows the operator why the button cannot be pressed:

    Manual functions or operation modes can directly be configured in CpStudio / OES:
