SCADA Security
Derived from Iotellect, Iotellect SCADA/HMI inherits its powerful and flexible role-based security model. System operators have separate user accounts. These accounts may own resources (controller accounts, HMIs (dashboards), alerts, reports, event filters). However, the system allow to share resource view/edit permissions between different accounts. See Security and Permissions for more information.
HMI Security
Some SCADA systems associate permission levels and checks with every component of HMI interfaces. Iotellect SCADA/HMI uses a smarter method of controlling what a certain HMI (dashboard) can and cannot do:
Dashboard components have no security-related information associated with them
The working dashboard inherits the permissions of the user who launched it
Every read or write request to the server data model uses the same effective permission level (i.e. permissions of the user that started the HMI dashboard)
Permissions are checked on the server side, therefore compromising security by "hacking" the client-side dashboard is not possible
Fine-grained permission control is performed by giving system operators different levels of access to different system resources and devices
