FAQs​

Q: Where can I find the Role Resources tab in OpCon?

Go to Library > Access Management > Roles in Solution Manager, select a role, and select the Resources tab.

Q: What does "Inherit all" mean on the Resources tab?

When Inherit all is selected for a resource category (such as Machines or Schedules), the role automatically receives privileges for all current and future resources of that type. Individual grant or revoke controls are disabled while Inherit all is active.
