Security Overview

Security can be applied to various elements in GENESIS such as actions, data points, alarms, files, or computers. It controls access to individual features, like acknowledging or shelving alarms, and allows fine-tuned permission settings for users and groups. You can restrict equipment commands to ensure that only authorized users can execute or view certain operations. Critical points and alarms are also safeguarded, requiring re-authentication for interaction.

The security system integrates with Active Directory (AD) and Microsoft Entra ID, enabling centralized user management and authentication. It supports external identity providers through OIDC and SAML 2.0, allowing single sign-on and external credential mapping.
