Abstract
A method for changing an existing access key in a field device in automation technology includes the steps of: providing a key database on a database server; generating a key data set for a user authorized to access or a control unit authorized to access from the key database; and transferring the key data set to the control unit of the access-authorized user or the access-authorized control unit, so that the control unit of the access-authorized user or the access-authorized control unit has the existing access keys of the field devices for which an access authorization exists. The key database is for a plurality of field devices and contains at least a field device identifier of a respective field device, the existing access key of the respective field device and the identifier of a user authorized to access and/or a control unit authorized to access the respective field device.
