Assign streams to site

Assign streams to a site to organize their data under the real-world location that the site represents. A site represents a physical or operational location, such as a plant, factory, or other facility, and provides a boundary for services, data, and access within that location. Assigning streams to a site limits stream access to only people with permitted by the site.

Streams imported in a staging area, such as those from a PI bulk import, have no assigned site until you associate them with one. You can also use this procedure to move streams from one site to another.

Important: A stream's associated site controls who can access it. After you associate a stream with a site, only users with access to that site can view or use the stream. If you move a stream to another site, users who can access the original site lose access to it, and users with access to the new site gain access. Before you change a stream's site, make sure that the right users have access to the new site.

To assign streams to a site

1. In the navigation rail, select Data stores.

2. From the Change data store dropdown, verify that the data store instance containing the resources and data you want to work with is selected.

3. Select the Streams card.

4. Select the streams that you want to associate with a site and choose Assign to site. Streams can only be assigned to a single site.

5. Select the site that you want to assign the streams to and choose Add.

   The streams are assigned to the selected site.

   Important: Editing a stream's assigned site does not change the geography of the stream, only the site that the stream is assigned to.
