Plant Configuration is setup in User Security for the User ID. You are correct, Employee ID is not connected to a plant. The method to change plants requires you to log on to a desktop client session, then use Options - Change Plant; select the plant to want access. You can not change plants from MES stations, it's associated with the last plant you logged on from the desktop client.
Are emp0001 and MIGUEL the same user or different users? Are these User ID's or Employee ID's? At a desktop client, log in with users emp0001 and MIGUEL - what plants are displayed when logging on for each of them?
You can have shortcuts with multiple plants, but they do not indicate the plant unless you manually change the name of the shortcut. You can see the plant if you right click and select properties for the shortcut.
