# Add Windows users or groups to the 3.20 and earlier Accounts list

The following procedure applies only to accounts in the ME Runtime 3.20 and earlier tab of the Runtime Security editor. To add Windows-linked users or groups to FactoryTalk Security, see Add users or groups to FactoryTalk Security.

In the Windows Security Options dialog box, you can add Windows users or domain groups to the FactoryTalk View user accounts list. All users must be in the same Windows domain. The users and groups that you add will have the default security access specified for the Default user. By default, all the account codes A-P will be enabled for the Default user. You can customize the individual user's or groups' security codes in the Runtime Security editor.

You can use a private list of users or a list of users and groups from the Windows Domain, but not both. If you choose to use Windows groups and users, any users that you have set up in the Runtime Security editor will be deleted.
