Niagara integration of a Sedona Framework device requires it to have a defined “super user” in its app. This user has all possible permissions and provisioning capabilities, and is sometimes referred to as the “admin user”. This is the user you reference when you add a Sedona device component to the station’s Sedona network, entering the Username and Password in the “Credentials” property fields (Figure C.1).
Note that when any Sedona device is networked under the station, that Niagara ultimately controls this super user account—using this account for everything from managing points, doing provisioning, and providing access to the device’s app via the Sox Gateway. This also includes user synchronization from the station’s Sedona user management views. Therefore it is important that this user is strictly controlled.
A Sedona network’s Sedona Device User Manager view provides a special function for globally updating this super user in all devices in the network. Usage does not require any Sedona users or user roles to be defined under the station’s Sedona User Management Service (“top tier” architecture).
In fact, in a typical Niagara integration of Sedona Framework devices, where access to Sedona device apps and/or Sedona device provisioning is performed “through the station”, the only user of any consequence is each device’s referenced super user. Other Sedona users, including those created with users and roles in the station’s service and then mapped to devices in the network view, apply only when accessing devices using direct (or “tunneled”) Sox connections.
