Directory

Directory refers to a resource management system that is more than just a simple folder structure; it is a platform for managing different types of resources and their permissions.

The top-level directory for all resources. From the Domain level, administrators have a global view of all subdirectories and resources, facilitating unified management and monitoring. Permissions set at the Domain level can be inherited downwards to subdirectories and resources.

Important tools for organizing and managing resources. Folders can be nested, creating a multi-level structure known as subdomains. This design allows for finer control and management of resources. The depth of the folder structure is limited to a maximum of 10 levels. Use case: Each folder can represent a project or team. In a large organization, such a structure can be used to define access permissions for different users or user groups.

Click on any folder layer, then on the toolbar or right-click to open the menu and select "Add Folder".

Click on the folder you want to delete, then on the toolbar or right-click to open the menu and select "Delete Folder".

Click on the folder you want to rename, then on the toolbar or right-click to open the menu and select "Rename Folder".

Click on the folder you want to move, then on the toolbar or right-click to open the menu and select "Move" and choose the destination folder.

Users assigned to specific folders. Each user can only be a member of one folder, facilitating clear definition of permissions and responsibilities, with their permissions precisely controlled and managed by the folder's administrator based on requirements.

Managed devices. Each HMI device can only be assigned to a specific folder. Access and control permissions for HMI devices are set by the folder's administrator as needed, ensuring that only authorized users can operate or modify the settings of HMI devices.

Purpose: Displays information such as HMI Type, Hardware Key, and HMI Name.
Administrative Operations: Administrators can edit the HMI’s nickname and the content of custom fields.

Administrators can remove HMI devices no longer needed in the Domain. Below are the steps for removing an HMI:

Select the HMI: In the Directory page, click on the HMI you want to remove from the Domain.
Remove the device: In the information field, find and click "Remove device from domain".
Confirm removal: In the popup alert window, click "Remove" again to confirm the operation.

After completing these steps, the HMI will be removed from the current Domain.

Note: HMIs that only have the Dashboard service activated cannot be removed from the Domain.

Administrators can transfer HMI devices to another Domain. Below are the steps for transferring an HMI to another Domain:

Select the HMI: In the Directory page, click on the HMI you want to transfer to another Domain.
Initiate transfer: In the information field, find and click "Transfer to another Domain".
Fill in the new Domain: Fill in the name of the new Domain in the popup alert window.
Submit transfer request: After confirming the information is correct, click "Transfer" again to submit the transfer request.
Wait for approval: The administrator of the new Domain needs to approve the transfer request. Once approved, the HMI will be transferred to the new Domain.

Note:

Ensure to communicate with the administrator of the new Domain and obtain their consent before initiating the transfer request to ensure a smooth transfer process.

Information: Shows the Activation Status of EasyAccess 2.0, Public IP, Private IP, Project Name, and Network Traffic (unit: byte).
Administrative Operations: Users with EasyAccess 2.0 management privileges can activate EasyAccess 2.0 or enable a 30-day trial, as well as view event logs in the HMI project.

Information: Shows the Subscription Status of Dashboard, EBpro Project Settings, and Location data.
Administrative Operations: Users with Dashboard management privileges can add subscription cards and adjust the latitude and longitude of the HMI. Geographical location data can be manually set for the HMI's latitude and longitude or automatically synchronized through data source tags.
Automatic geographical location synchronization setup:

In the HMI's data source, select the option to add a new folder.
Name the new folder "coordinate".
Within the "coordinate" folder, add two new tags.
Name the first tag "latitude".
Name the second tag "longitude".
In the EasyBuilder Pro project, confirm that the "latitude" and "longitude" tags are correctly linked to their respective data sources.
Set the tag values so that they can synchronize data from the connected data source.

Feature Introduction: WebConnect is a Web-based service built on EasyAccess 2.0. Users can utilize WebConnect to access HMIs that support EasyWeb or Webview, synchronize viewing of HMI screens via VNC, or customize Web services.

A method of grouping HMIs together for permission management purposes. For new users, using groups is not recommended. Instead, adopting a more modern folder structure for managing resources and permissions is suggested. This is because folder structures offer greater flexibility and finer control, making them more suitable for meeting the requirements of complex organizations.

└─ Groups (Compatibility with legacy system)

Has full control over the Domain (Root Directory).
Can allocate resources and permissions.
Adjusts member permissions based on organizational policies and security requirements to ensure the protection and proper usage of folder resources.

Manages specific folders and their subfolders.
Permissions are similar to those of an administrator but are limited to specific folders and their contents.
Can adjust member permissions based on organizational policies and security requirements.

A general role whose permissions can vary based on administrator configuration.

In the Directory interface, administrators can find an option in the top right corner which allows them to view the system from the perspective of a specific user. This means that administrators can see all the folders and HMI devices that the user has permission to access, thereby gaining a better understanding of the user's scope of permissions.
