Point database permissions for PI APS

The PI APS programs require read access to the PI Server PIPOINT table and read access to the individual points for interface instances that are registered with PI APS.

To create or delete points, the PI APS Synchronization Engine or PI APS Configuration Utility requires write access for the PI Server PIPOINT table (Database Security). To edit or delete points, the PI APS Synchronization Engine or PI APS Configuration Utility requires write access for individual points.

The PI APS Synchronization Trigger service does not access the PI Server point database.

PI points have two sets of security attributes: one set controls access to the point attributes and the other set controls access to the point data. PI APS needs write access for point attributes of the points that are associated with interface instances registered for synchronization. PI APS does not access point data.
