Learn about Data Archive administrative tools

You can use administrative tools to configure access permissions. Examples are PI SMT, Point Builder, and Module Database Builder. When you upgrade to the latest version of Data Archive, your existing access permissions are retained. New versions of most administrative tools can display access permissions for either the old or the new model, depending on the version of the connected Data Archive.

Older versions of administrative tools cannot interpret new-model access permissions unless the access permissions are compatible with the old model. The display of incompatible access permissions depends on the specific client tool. Typically the tool will show:

owner: PIUserIncompatible

group: PIGroupIncompatible

PIUserIncompatible and PIGroupIncompatible are built-in PI identities included with a later installation of Data Archive (version 3.4.380 and above).
