Configure security for the UOM database

Units of measurement (UOM) always have Read permission set regardless of other security settings.

You cannot set permissions for individual UOMs or UOM classes. However, you can set permissions for the entire UOM database.

1. In the navigator, select Unit of Measure.

2. On the toolbar, click UOM Security.

   In the Items to Configure list of the Security Configuration window, the Unit-of-Measure Database item is selected.

3. In the Identities list, review existing identities and validate their permissions. You can also add and remove identities, as described in Configure security for objects.

4. In the Child Permissions section, choose one of the permission inheritance options. For more information, see Understand permission inheritance of element objects.

5. Optional. To view a user's access permissions on PI AF objects based on his or her current PI AF identity mappings, click the Effective Access tab.

6. Optional. In the Domain User field, enter a user's Windows domain name whose permissions you want to view. If you are using OIDC, enter the user's name in the OIDC User field.

7. Optional. Press Tab or Enter to validate your entry.

8. Click OK.

   Note: If you are using OpenID Connect (OIDC) for claims-based authentication and role mapping, the Effective Access tab shows the OIDC user's permissions on PI AF objects. The User SID field is not shown.
