Once we have the basic configuration of the UMC, we will proceed to configure our engineering station with TIA Portal.
We run TIA Administrator V3 (TIA Portal V20), from where we can manage several options, as you can see in the image, and the one we are interested in is Central User Management.
This is where we will configure the linkage between our UMC-SERVER and our engineering station.
The steps are as follows:
- We enter the name of our server and click on "Validate".
- After connecting to the server, we need to click on "Approve" the Server ID
- We enter the username and password of the administrator user of UMC and confirm with "Connect"
If everything is correct, the message will indicate that it has connected successfully.
We can now create a project in TIA Portal and from Security settings -> Users and roles
We will connect to our server. Here we use the credentials of the administrator user.
If everything is correct, you will see the message indicating that it has connected and synchronized with the server successfully, and we can continue with the configuration.
Previously, on the UMC server, I created a couple of groups to carry out the tests.
From the TIA Portal project, if we click on "Add UMC groups", these are the ones we have created and imported into our project.
Previamente, en el servidor UMC he creado un par de grupos para realizar las pruebas.
Desde el proyecto de TIA Portal, si hacemos clic en "Agregar grupos de UMC", estos son los que tenemos creados e importamos a nuestro proyecto.
A partir de aquí, el siguiente concepto sería los permisos y roles que vamos a definir para cada uno de los grupos.
Hay que considerar también los roles definidos de usuarios para configurar opciones avanzadas en nuestros proyectos, según las necesidades.
Y lo próximo son los pasos que hay que realizar en WinCC Unified para integrar la configuración de usuarios de UMC.
