Lock event categories

As a Control Room administrator, you can lock the set preferences. With this feature, a Control Room administrator can manage a user's access to the event categories that are already set.

Prerequisites

Login to Control Room as an administrator.

If this setting is enabled, individual users can enable or disable the required event categories. Otherwise, this setting locks the preference that a Control Room administrator had set.

For example, for attended automation users, the automation administrator does not want individual users to change these settings. To enforce this policy, a Control Room administrator can lock the required preferences and notifications only for those enabled event categories are sent to the users.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Administration > Settings > Notification settings.
  2. Click Edit to enable or disable the required notification channel.
  3. For the Allow users to control notifications settings, select one of the following options.
    • Enable: When you enable this setting, individual users can change the notification settings in their Control Room instance.
    • Disable: When you disable this setting, the notification settings set in the Administration > Settings > Notification settings section are locked and individual users cannot change the notification settings in their Control Room instance.
      Note: When Allow users to control notifications settings is disabled, all the Control Room users are notified about events based on the enabled event categories in the Administration > Settings > Notification settings section.
  4. Click Save changes.
