Configuring Permissions
You can configure which functions users can access when editing the project and when using the runtime. You set permissions using Groups.
FactoryStudio comes with a few predefined groups that you can use, or you can create your own.
To configure permissions:
1. Go to Edit > Security > Permissions.
2. Enter or select information, as needed.
Column | Description |
Name | Enter a name for the group. The system lets you know if the name is not valid. |
Edit | Select the functions users in the group can access when editing a project. |
Run | Select the functions users in the group can access when using the runtime. |
Description | Enter a description for the group. |
3. Continue adding as many groups as you need.
•The permission groups you create are available for use on the Users tab.

•Access to the Start button and the Task Toolbar.
•Windows Logo button
•Ctrl + Alt + Del
•Ctrl + ESC
•Alt + Tab
•lt + F4
•Windows Logo + L
Note: To allow to disable the keyboard short-cuts to switch applications, the file DisableTaskSwitchProtection.bat must be run from the installation directory, in-order to install the keyboard driver necessary to implement this feature.
