NOTICE
In all newly created Automation Builder projects, there is a default user "Owner" with an empty password. This is a project administrator. The project administrator is responsible to create a new password for user "Owner" and, in addition, create dedicated safety and non-safety users based on your project organization demands.
Only members of safety group are allowed to modify safety modules, change their configuration, etc. By default, no users without proper log-in and access rights can access safety modules.
Access to safety CPU and safety program can be protected by three passwords.

It is the responsibility of project administrator to setup a proper user management for the given safety application project to avoid unauthorized access to safety modules.
Passwords for users with safety group membership shall be properly selected (at least 8 symbols are recommended with a combination of numbers and letters). An access to passwords must be strictly controlled.
Make sure that you set “Deny” permission for proper users and groups (e.g., Everyone) through menu “Project User Management Permissions...” to avoid unauthorized creation of new users in the safety group.
