Smart HMI WebIQ User controls Example?

Hi Community,

It is my first time using WebIQ User controls for Operator and Admin.

When i add the lock condition for operator to prevent operator user to input values, in the operator user is still able to input values.

Does anyone have an example for WebIQ user controls. I am using WebIQ version 2.15.10.

You did not specify exactly what you did, i.e. which widget you set the lock condition for.

You have to add a User Controller widget and a User List/User Select widget and associate the User List/Select widget with the User Controller (as the system is infintely modular so you could have an infinite amount of differently configured user widgets in your HMI even next to each other).

Then you have to set the lock condition on the User Controller, because that's the one that includes the buttons which will then be locked.

Please note that for logical reasons you should not lock the widget for a specific group, but instead lock the widget for a group that's not included, i.e. don't lock it for "Any of operator", but for "None of admin", as this way even when you add new groups no editing will be possible.

The attached HMI illustrates this working correctly.
