User Sync Manager

Any station's NiagaraNetwork has an available User Sync Manager view. It manages the Users device extension properties for all NiagaraStations in the network.

This view reflects the NiagaraNetwork setup for enabling network users.

Figure 1. User Sync Manager is available view on NiagaraNetwork

To open this view, expand Config > Drivers, right-click the NiagaraNetwork and click Views > User Sync Manager.

For each NiagaraStation in the network, the User Sync Manager shows the current status and configuration property values of the station’s user device extension. The example above, with its configuration of Sync In Enabled and Sync Out Enabled properties, represents a NiagaraNetwork in a Supervisor station, where all child stations are subordinate (remote controller) stations.
