Users Service
The users service allows to manage users of the controller. The service includes a User Manager view, which shows a list of registered users and allows to adjust their access rights to individual components (each Sedona application component has a Meta slot used to assign it to one or more groups of access rights; Sedona has 4 predefined groups, which are accessible in the User Manager). The User Manager also enables adding and removing users.
WARNING! In the users service only Sedona users can be modified. The “platform” user is the control operating system and can only be modified (password change) from the plat component, built-in display, or from the controller’s web page.

- Operator Read: allows to read components, read values of operator properties;
