I am not aware of any safety risks associated with that.

With the new update, version 8+, user management features have been enhanced with the addition of buttons that enable users to select from a list of existing users. However, it is important to note that these buttons may not function properly if the login is set to "DEFAULT".

While it's technically possible to display a comprehensive list of both active and inactive users on your HMI runtime interface, there could be some caveats. The main problem is that this could clutter the display and possibly affect the interface performance if you have a high number of users. Also, there are privacy and security considerations, as displaying inactive users might expose some sensitive data. A more desirable approach could be to provide a search function that admins can use to pull up data on demand.

While it's technically possible to display a comprehensive list of both active and inactive users on the HMI runtime interface, you may want to consider potential performance implications. If the user base is large, fetching and displaying such a large amount of data could slow down the interface significantly. Plus, from the aspect of data security and privacy, it might not be the best practice to openly display all inactive users. If you're determined to proceed, it's advisable to implement smart search or pagination features to navigate the list more efficiently.

While it may sound beneficial to have a comprehensive list of both active and inactive users on the HMI runtime interface, it's crucial to consider the potential size of this list, especially for larger systems. Displaying this amount of data might lead to overwhelm and decreased system performance. Plus, you must remember to factor in the privacy and data security concerns around displaying a comprehensive list of users. If necessary, a more feasible option could be to allow for a search or filter function that can bring up user status on demand.

Displaying a comprehensive list of both active and inactive users on the HMI runtime interface could be helpful for monitoring purposes, but it might also clutter the interface and overwhelm users, especially if the list is long. Instead, it could be more effective to implement a filtering or search function that allows users to quickly access the information they need without feeling bogged down by too much data at once. This way, you maintain clarity while still offering full transparency.

Displaying a comprehensive list of users on the HMI runtime interface could be useful for monitoring and management, but it might also get cluttered, especially if there are many inactive users. It could be more effective to show only active users by default and provide a filter or toggle option to view inactive ones. This way, you keep the interface clean while still offering full visibility when needed.
