exit deltav operate

hi, can any one explain how deltav operate manages the user permissions around exiting the application? i would like to allow a certain user group to be able to exit the deltav operate application but unable to find out how the security / permissions is handled.

  • I think it used to be any user with the key to the Can Configure lock. The script behind the Exit Operate Interface button just calls a hidden procedure frszTbExitApp which is not helpful.

    However you could replace this with your own script that checked if the current user had access to a particular lock and, if so, execute the command 'Application.Quit 2' to exit Operator Interface. You could make use of one of the User Locks and assign this to the group of users who should be able to exit.

    You can check if a user has access to a key using a special parameter. THISUSER/USER_CAN.B_CV[Area_Name][Lock_or_Key_Name] returns ‘True’ or a non-zero value if the current user has the specified key within the specified area assigned to them. Otherwise, it returns ‘False’ or a zero value.

    Yes the default checks if user has the can configure rights (using DVSYS.thisuser/can_config.f_cv) for a standard DeltaV as there is a check for RS3 user as well but I doubt is the case here.
  • Any user can hit Alt-F4 and close the operate session.
