By using this option, users can control access to Domains, Elipse E3 Viewers, Screens, and Alarms based on a list of users and groups. Depending on these configured options, an application either grants or denies access to registered users.

Access permissions are configured per user or per groups of users. Groups can be created to contain only users, or other groups as well. To access configurations for users and groups, select the File - Users menu.

If the application does not have any user configured as administrator, the window on the next figure is then displayed, indicating the need to create at least one user of that type.
