DeltaV Use Manager and Operator Rights

Hi

Please tell me what I need to do on User Manager so that the OPERATOR user ID can be able to check and un-check the 'Accept' checkbox on a valve faceplate. Presently the User OPERATOR can SIMULATE, Can Control, Has Windows Desktop access, How do I do this without checking the DeltaV Administrator  in the OPERATOR properties?

  You have to give the privilege to the operator to accept the checkbox right. ..
  
  Just check the parameter which operator want to operate
  like if it is PV_D then
  Go to DeltaV explorer- select setup- security-parameter list
  Say add select user lock1 and write the parameter, here I am taking PV_D
  Say ok and close it
  
  
  Open user manager
  File-select computer like operator station
  Select operator user
  Select DeltaV keys add user lock 1
  Close it
  Download the setup data of proplus and operator
  
  Hope it works

  Thanks much Roshan Party.
  I have done like you said and added the ACCEPT_D parameter to the UserLock01 on the Proplus for User 'OPERATOR'.It works well on the Proplus when logged on as OPERATOR. I tried to grant access on the Operator workstation computer but when I do File>Select Computer> Operator Station, in User Manager, I have a prompt that I do not have access to do such changes for operator work station. computer. Please note that I am logged on as Administrator
  Appreciate your prompt response
  
  Thanks

  Run server password utility
  Start-Run- servpwd on each station
  And check it.

  Try logging out and login again on the DeltaV Pro+ and then do the same on the Operator station.

  Arthur,
  
  The User security in DeltaV is managed independently from the Windows User Manager. Once you have properly associated the Parameter with a security lock in DeltaV Explorer, and you've assigned that key to the user in DeltaV User Manager, Downloading the Professional Plus should result in the Auto Update service propagating this global setting to all workstations.
  
  The option to Select Computer in DeltaV User Manager is primarily to allow you to administer the Windows Users in a workgroup environment. For instance, if you create a new user in DeltaV on the Pro Plus in a Workgroup, you have to add that user to each computer before the account can be used on those computers. In a Domain, the Pro Plus users created by DeltaV User Manager are Domain Users. If you wished to add local accounts on a computer, you could use this feature.
  
  If the Auto Update service has been disabled for the Operator station, or the DeltaVAdmin password is not consistent, the DeltaV user Privilege information may not be getting transferred to the Operator Stations, and this would explain why it works on the Pro Plus, but not the station.
  - Check that the Auto Update service is enabled for Setup Data to the workstations
  - As suggested by Roshan, run ServPwd to reset the password so that it is the same on all computers. If you do not know what the password is on the pro plus, you'll need to run this on all the computers and reset them all to a known new password.
  The DeltaVAdmin account is reserved to run DeltaV services and is a local account on each computer, but must have the same password.
  Changing this password via user manager does not update all the services to the new password, so you must use the ServPwd utility.
  - You can try to explicitly download Setup Data to the Operator Station as well.
  
  Logging off and then back on forces an initialization of the logged on user privileges, as Tinh suggested.
  
  If these steps do not resolve the issue, you should log a call with the GSC.

  Hi All
  I just logged on to Pro+ and did OS setup data download as suggested by Andre Dicaire. Then I tried checking the ACCEPT_D parameter box from OS. Believe me it worked!!
  Thank you all
