User Roles – Versions Prior to Release 4
Prior authority used one of five operation modes to grant login and functional authority per sub area Operation modes were hierarchical and the user was assigned
the highest mode he was authorized to use
Disadvantage: Unable to define users who can have the highest functional authority but not have the intermediate functions
Operation Mode Typical Application
5 Administrator
4 Supervisory Control
3 Open/close
2 Not used
1 Read-only

User Roles – Release 4
Now authority uses a combination of user roles and an unlimited number of operation modes to grant login and functional authority Operation modes are NOT hierarchical but independent levels
used to configure authority for different roles
Administrator needs to determine a grouping of functionality first and then assign the appropriate number of opmodes
