Issue
Network variables from LON devices not included in export file.
Environment
Vista 5.1.X Workstation
Cause
The user does not have system manager (or higher) authority.
Resolution
Grant the user that will be carrying out the export/import function system manager authority level.
Here is some information on the different authority levels in Vista (taken from the help file)
Authority Level
In this field you can choose between:
-
User has the lowest rights and is in principle only allowed to see values (and not change them) and acknowledge alarms.
-
Field Manager is, in addition to this, allowed to change values of points and force variables in the installation.
-
Operation Manager is, in addition to this, allowed to program everything; to create and delete objects, to configure objects, to assign authority to objects, to create and edit color graphics. He may also disable alarms and change parameter settings in the installation. However he has no access to functions that affect system security.
-
System Manager has all rights and can for example create/delete user profiles, log out other operators, set passwords, assign authority to objects, define network nodes etc. Normally, very few persons have these rights.
