Set access permissions for versions earlier than PI Server 2010

Versions earlier than PI Server 2010 (Data Archive 3.4.380) use the owner/group/world model for access permissions. Each object can have an owner, which must be a PI user and a group, which must be a PI group. You can set access permissions for the owner, access permissions for the group, and the access for everyone else (called world access).

Perform the following steps to set access permissions for a point

1. Select the point in Point Builder, then click the Security tab.

   

2. Use the drop-down lists to choose an owner and a group and to specify access permissions for the owner and group. The possible levels of access are read and write. The possible access rights string can be "r", "w", "r,w" or "" (null). Note that there is no level for deny, as there is in Windows.
