Configure security for the UOM database

UOMs always have the Read permission 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 all of a user's access permissions on items in PI AF 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.

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