Manual User Logout

A user logged into EOS SCADA Runtime can manually log out of the system after completing the required operations. The logout operation is performed through the user name displayed in the upper-right section of the Runtime program window after the user has logged into the system.

To log out manually:

  1. Click the user name displayed in the upper-right section of the EOS SCADA Runtime main window.
  2. In the menu that opens after clicking the user name, locate the LOG OUT option.
  3. Click the LOG OUT button to terminate the user's session.

When the logout operation is completed, the user's session in EOS SCADA Runtime is terminated. Therefore, a new login by an authorized user is required to perform SCADA operations that require user authorization.

Automatic Logout with a USB Key

If a user has logged into EOS SCADA Runtime using an authorized USB flash drive, the user session can be terminated by removing the USB key without manually selecting the LOG OUT option.

How the USB key works:

  • When the authorized USB flash drive is connected to the computer, the corresponding user is logged in automatically.
  • As long as the USB flash drive remains connected to the computer, the corresponding user authorization remains active.
  • When the USB flash drive is removed from the computer, the corresponding user is automatically logged out.

This method is particularly useful in shift-based operations because it simplifies user changes. After completing their work, the user only needs to remove the authorized USB flash drive from the computer to terminate the user session.

Important: For a user who has logged in using a USB key, continued user authorization depends on the USB flash drive remaining connected to the system. When the flash drive is removed, the corresponding user is automatically logged out.

User Logout Methods

In EOS SCADA Runtime, user logout can be performed manually or automatically depending on the method used to log into the system.

Login Method Logout Method Operation
Username and Password Manual Logout Click the user name in the upper-right section and select LOG OUT from the menu that opens.
USB Key Automatic Logout When the authorized USB flash drive is removed from the computer, the corresponding user is automatically logged out.

After Logout

Logging out of the system terminates the user's authorization session. After this, an authorized user must log into the system again before SCADA operation and management options available according to the user's authorization level can be used.

Particularly in shift-based operations, properly completing the logout process when changing users is important for clearly and controllably managing which user's authorization is active in Runtime.
