How can you set the password protection level in WinCC flexible configuration? Is it possible for an operator's login to only view and modify specific content? Can engineers have more control over the system? And is this achievable?

A: To start, go to "Runtime User Management" and create a new group under "Group". Then assign permissions such as "Operation", "Management", and "Monitor" (you can also add custom permissions if needed). These rights are not hierarchical but rather define what users can do within the system.

Next, create a new user under "Users" in the same "Runtime User Management" section. Assign the user to the appropriate group based on their role—such as operator, engineer, or administrator.

1. In WinCC flexible, define the user’s permission by setting up the group they belong to. You can also set the username and password for each user.

2. Regarding the operator login: it can be configured so that the user can only view and make limited modifications. Engineers, on the other hand, can have higher-level access depending on the group they are assigned to. This setup is fully achievable through proper configuration of user groups and permissions.

For multiple user permissions, here's a detailed explanation: The terms "Operation", "Management", and "Monitoring" in group permissions are just labels that represent different levels of access. They are not strictly hierarchical, but the more permissions a user has, the higher their access level. For example:

- User A is part of the administrator group, which includes all three permissions: operation, management, and monitoring. This means they can interact with all objects on the screen.

- User B is in the standard user group, which may only include "Operation" by default. So they can only view or make basic changes.

- User C is in a custom group with "Operation" and "Monitoring" permissions. This allows them to interact with objects that have those specific rights assigned.

By assigning the right permissions to each object on the screen, you can control who can edit, monitor, or only view different parts of the system. This makes it easy to manage access levels and ensure security while maintaining flexibility for different user roles.
