Note that the operating system Administrator Account may be different than Administrator Accounts for applications hosted on that operating system.
Also, most controllers will not have any support for accounts and will therefore not have an 'Administrator Account'.
1.4.2 Computer
A computer is one of the following:
a. a device running a non-embedded desktop or server version of Microsoft Windows
b. a device running a non-embedded version of MacOS
c. a device running a non-embedded version of Linux
d. a device running a version or derivative of the Android Operating System, where Android is considered separate from Linux
e. a device running a version of Apple iOS
Unless otherwise indicated or clear from context use of the word "device" in this Section includes computers.
1.4.3 Controller
A device other than a computer or Ethernet switch.
1.4.4 Mission Space
Mission space is shown on the drawings.

1.4.5 Network
A network is a group of two or more devices that can communicate using a network protocol. Network protocols must provide a method for addressing devices on the network; a communication method that does not provide an addressing scheme is not a networked form of communication. Devices that communicate using a method of communication that does not support device addressing are not using a network.
1.4.6 Network Connected
A component is network connected (or "connected to a network") only when the device has a network transceiver which is directly connected to the network and implements the network protocol. A device lacking a network transceiver (and accompanying protocol implementation) can never be considered network connected. Note that (unlike many IT definitions of "Network Connected") a device connected to a non-IP network is still considered network connected (an IP connection or IP address is not required for a device to be network connected).
1.4.6.1 Wireless Network Connected
Any device that supports wireless network communication is network connected to a wireless network, regardless of whether the device is communicating using wireless. Unless physically disabled, devices with wireless transceivers support wireless, it is not sufficient to disable the wireless in software.
1.4.7 Network Media
The thing that provides the communication channel between the devices on a network. Typically wire, but might include wireless, fiber optic, or even power line (some network protocols allow sending network signals over power wiring).
1.4.8 User Account Support Levels
The support for user accounts is categorized in this Section as one of three levels:
1.4.8.1 FULLY Supported
Device supports configurable individual accounts. Accounts can be created, deleted, modified, etc. Privileges can be assigned to accounts.
These devices support user-based (as opposed to role-based) authentication.
1.4.8.2 MINIMALLY Supported
Device supports a small, fixed number of accounts (perhaps only one).
Accounts cannot be modified. A device with only a "User" and an "Administrator" account would fit this category. Similarly, a device with two PINs for logon - one for restricted and one for unrestricted rights would fit here (in other words, the accounts do not have to be the traditional "username and password" structure). These devices typically only support role-based authentication.
Examples of devices which MINIMALLY support accounts are a) a variable frequency drive with a single account which requires a PIN for access to
SECTION 25 05 11.26 Page 3 Certified Final configuration; and b) a room lighting control touchpad interface that has a single account.
1.4.8.3 NOT Supported
Device does not support any Access Enforcement therefore the whole concept of "account" is meaningless.
1.4.9 Manual Local Input
Manual Local Inputs are system analog or binary inputs that are adjustable by a person but are, by intrinsic hardware design, very limited in potential capabilities. Manual Local Inputs do not have touch screens or full keyboards, but may have a few buttons or dials to allow input.
Manual Local Inputs do not have full graphic screens or dot-matrix displays, but may have simple lights (LEDs) or 7-segment displays. Manual Local Inputs do not have any sort of menu structure, each button has a single well-defined function.
Examples of Manual Local Inputs are H-O-A switches, simple thermostats, and disconnect switches.
1.4.10 Card Reader
A card reader is an input/output device whose primary function is to assist in two-factor authentication. A card reader must have an interface to read data from a card and may be able to write data to a card. A card reader may have a means (such as buttons, keypad, touchscreen, etc.) for a user to input a PIN or password, as well as a limited display.
1.4.11 User Interface
A User Interface (UI) is something other than a Manual Local Input or Card Reader that allows a person to interact with the system or device. Note that while a Card Reader is not by itself a User Interface, a User Interface may contain a Card Reader in order for it to authenticate its user. Within control systems, there are a wide range of User Interfaces.
Two important distinctions are 1) whether the user interface is Local or Remote, and 2) the effective capabilities of the User Interface to alter data, which is the "privilege" of the user interface (where effective privilege available to a specific user at a specific user interface is the combination of the greatest privilege offered by the user interface and the specific account the user is logged into).
1.4.11.1 Local User Interface
A Local User Interface is a user interface where the physical hardware the user interacts with (keyboard, buttons, display, etc.) is physically part of the device being affected. All of the relevant characteristics of the user interface are embodied within a single device.
Note that a Local UI may be able to access data in a different device, Local versus Remote in this context refers to the user interface itself;
the capability to access data in a different device is covered under "Full User Interface".
SECTION 25 05 11.26 Page 4 Certified Final
1.4.11.2 Remote User Interface
A Remote User Interface implements a Client/Server model where the physical hardware the user interacts with (Client) is physically distinct from the device being affected (Server). Most or all of the security and functionality characteristics of the user interface are defined by the Server, not the Client. The Client and Server communicate via a network connection. A common example of a remote user interface is a web-based interface where the browser (client) is generally on different hardware than the web server (server). A Remote UI remains a Remote UI even if the user happens to be at a Client on the same hardware as the Server. What is important is that a) the Client may be on different hardware than the Server and b) the majority of the security and functional characteristics of the interface are defined at the Server.
Note that this definition of "remote" is consistent with that generally used in the control industry but is not aligned with the NIST 800-53 definition of "Remote", which refers to "outside the system". The term "Remote" here better aligns with the NIST 800-53 definition of "Network" (remote from within the system) Access.
1.4.11.3 Types of User Interface (by capability)
User interfaces are also categorized by their capabilities as being Read Only, Limited, or Full.
1.4.11.3.1 Read-Only User Interface
A Read Only User Interface (also referred to as a View-Only User Interface) is a user interface that only allows for reading data, it does not allow (have the capability to) modify data. A Read Only User Interface may be either Local or Remote. A User Interface that is configured to be Read Only (by some other means than the interface itself, such as using configuration software on a laptop) is a Read-Only Interface. Note a Read Only User Interface may have buttons (or touch screen, etc.) allowing the user to navigate through the presentation of data.
Examples of a Read Only User Interfaces are a) a publicly viewable "energy dashboard" showing weather data and energy usage within a building and b) digital wayfinding signage.
1.4.11.3.2 Limited User Interface
A Limited User Interface is a user interface that - by design - can only alter information local to the user interface. Note that the determination of "alter" includes only direct interactions, it explicitly excludes interactions that might occur as secondary effects. For example, an interface changing the flow setpoint in a pump controller is a direct interaction, the subsequent change in flow (as well as any subsequent downstream changes in valve position) are not direct interactions.
Two examples of LIMITED UIs are: a) a variable speed drive has a Limited Local User Interface which allows the user to change properties within the drive, but does not allow affecting things outside the drive; and b) a typical home WiFi Router has a Limited Remote User Interface which allows configuration of the Router, but does not allow direct interaction with other devices.
SECTION 25 05 11.26 Page 5 Certified Final
1.4.11.3.3 Full User Interface
A Full User Interface can alter information in devices outside the device with the user interface. For example, a typical Local Display Panel is a Full Local User Interface while a browser-based front end is a Full Remote User Interface.
1.4.11.3.4 View-Only User Interface
See Read-Only User Interface
1.4.11.4 Other User Interface Terminology
In addition to defining whether a user interface is a Hardware Limited, Read-Only, Limited or Full, and whether it is Local or Remote, user interfaces are classified by whether they are writable or privileged.
1.4.11.4.1 Writable User Interface
Any User Interface that is not Read-Only is Writable. (Limited User Interfaces and Full User Interfaces are both writable user interfaces (as they are capable of changing a value)).
1.4.11.4.2 Privileged User Interface
A Privileged UI is a UI that has sufficient capabilities or functionality that it requires specific cybersecurity measures to be put in place to limit its unauthorized use. Ultimately, whether a specific user interface is considered a Privileged User Interface must be determined by usage.
Unless otherwise specified, user interfaces can be determined to be privileged or not using the following:
a. Read-Only User Interfaces are not privileged user interfaces.
b. User interfaces that allow for configuration of auditing or allows for modification or deletion of audit logs are privileged user interface.
c. User interfaces that allow for reprogramming a network connected device is a privileged user interface.
d. Except as specified above, a Limited User Interface must be determined to be privileged or not based on the specific capabilities and use case of the user interface. In general however, user interfaces that do not offer significant capabilities above and beyond those available at that location via other means (e.g. such as a disconnect switch, breaker, or hand-off-auto switch, or physical attack) are not privileged.
1.4.12 Wireless Network
Any network that communicates without using wires or fiber optics as the communication media. Wireless networks include: WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, cellular, satellite, 900 MHz radio, 2.4 GHz, free space optical, point-to-point laser, and IR.
1.4.13 Wired Broadcast Network
Wired Broadcast Networks are any network, such as powerline carrier networks and modem (wired telephony), that use wire-based technologies
SECTION 25 05 11.26 Page 6 Certified Final where there is not a clearly defined boundary for signal propagation.
