Assign Privileges for Each Group Using LabVIEW Domain Account Manager

The ability to use access control to an application can add more security. LabVIEW gives users the ability to create local domains and configure the privileges each user or group can have within the domain. This article explains how to set up the access for users and groups using the Domain Account Manager in LabVIEW.

In order for you to configure the access control using the Domain Account Manager you need to have the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module and use a 32-bits version of LabVIEW. The access control is used to control the way a user or group interacts with the front panel once the VI is running, however, every user can edit the block diagram.

Once you have created the Local Domain you can open the VI you want to configure the access control to. 

1. Select Tools»Security»Front Panel Security.

           
       2.Select the control or indicator you want to change the access. 
       3. Click on Add.
       4. Select the Domain created and then select the user or group you want to grant or deny access.
           
       5. In the Security Tab click on Access to display the different options of access you can grant to the user/group selected prior. 
            
       6. Click Ok to save the changes.  After that configuration is done run the VI to confirm if the access granted before are working correctly.
