Profiles provide NiagaraAX software engineers with the ability to customize both the desktop Workbench and the Web Workbench
interface.
NOTE: In Workbench, the concept of profiles pertains to the different ways that Workbench is displayed while using either the Java
plugin, Hx, or Mobile technology. In this context, it does not refer directly to security settings or personal preferences.
The type of profile used to login to the station can result in certain views being inaccessible even if the user has permissions
to access the view.
NOTE: If you include a workbench view (wb view) as part of a Px page, then from a user-profile perspective it is just a Px page
which is allowed. The user permissions to that included workbench view (component) in the station determines whether it displays
in the px page or not.
Using NiagaraAX, the software engineer can create customized Workbench applications that provide different functionality.
Refer to NiagaraAX Developer Guide for more information about custom user interface development. Workbench comes with the following two categories of profiles
that have specific profile types available:
