Checking active user right

[mov1clj]

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:
