You can enable or disable the ability to perform manual control actions in Diagrams. Manual control actions include actions such as resetting values on devices or changing device configuration settings. You can also set the confirmation method that is used by the software to confirm a control action request before carrying it out.

Control in Diagrams is disabled by default.

NOTE: The required user access permissions for performing a control action are configured individually for each control object in a diagram. This is done at design time in Vista. However, to perform any control action in Diagrams you need at least controller-level access or higher (operator-level, supervisor-level). This is true even if the permissions for a control object in a diagram are set to user-level or view-only-level. Only through Vista can users with user-level or view-only-level access perform control actions on such a control object. To view or change the permissions on a control object, open the diagram in Vista.

NOTE: Control in Diagrams is only available when an HTTPS connection is used between the PME server and the Web Applications client.

To enable or disable control in Diagrams:

Open the Settings page from the SETTINGS link in the Web Applications banner.
In the Settings Library select Security > Diagrams Control Options.

NOTE: Only supervisor-level users can access the Diagrams Control Options settings.

In Diagrams Control Options, enable or disable manual control in Diagrams.
Click Save.

To set the confirmation method:

NOTE: Control in Diagrams must be enabled for the confirmation method settings to be displayed.

Open the Settings page from the SETTINGS link in the Web Applications banner.
In the Settings Library select Security > Diagrams Control Options.

NOTE: Only supervisor-level users can access the Diagrams Control Options settings.

In Diagrams Control Options, select the confirmation method - Dialog Box without Password or Dialog Box with Password.

NOTE: Control objects in diagrams can be configured, at design time, to always require password confirmation. This configuration is prioritized over the confirmation method settings above. See Controlling system functions in Vista for information on control object configuration.
