Question: User Admin - Use of Area Rights

17.04.2026 05:45 by Clinton Zhang

I am using v3.19
How do you integrate the use of areas into Win CC OA?
I can assign the specific permission bits for GroupX for Area1, Area2, Area3, but I cant find where in WinCC OA to integrate this into runtime? E.g. How do I relate panels to a specific area? so I can e.g. restrict setpoint control?

In the WinCC OA Documentation you can find a list of functions related to user administration:
Within this list also the function getUserPermissionForArea() is mentioned.

An explanation for Areas can be found here:
https://www.winccoa.com/documentation/WinCCOA/latest/en_US/UserAdmin/UserAdmin-12.html

The permission check must be done in the business logic part of your application (panels, scripts).
