Learn how to manage PI identities and PI mappings

PI System Management Tools (SMT) provides tools that let you configure and manage PI identities and PI mappings, as well as other security components. Every Data Archive installation includes PI SMT.

To manage PI identities, use the Identities, Users, & Groups tool in PI SMT. By default, separate tabs show identities, users, and groups, but you can display everything in one single list, if you prefer (click the Options button to select display options).

Once connected, PI SMT will display your Windows user ID, followed by a list of your associated identities in the bottom left of the screen.

If you click the identities, a dialog box tells you how you are connected (for example, through a mapping, a trust or as a default user).

Note: Your Windows account is always displayed, even if you are not connected to the Data Archive server through a mapping.

To manage PI mappings in PI SMT, use the Mappings & Trusts tool. Click the Mappings tab to see all the PI mappings defined for all connected Data Archive.

Note: The Mappings tab appears only if you are connected to at least one Data Archive. If not, then only the Trusts tab appears.
