Summary/Abstract: Handling sensitive data often brings up security questions. Who should have access to the data and to which parts? Should everyone be able to modify the file or database? By defining the system needs up front,engineers can choose tools to help them to do this. LabVIEW with the Mobile Module enables engineers to define user profiles that limit access to different specific user interface controls on the application, as well as to different and sensitive sections of the data. This article describes the functionality provided by the LabVIEW Mobile Module to facilitate the implementation of security for LabVIEW project libraries, shared variables and front panel objects. This article also discusses how the security architecture separates user management and authentication from resource permissions.
