Default access for new points and modules

You can set default access permissions for points and modules. When you create a new point or module without explicitly setting access permissions, the point or module gets the default access permissions.

• Default access permissions for all new points (both point data and point configuration) match the access permissions for the point database (PIPOINT). You can set permissions for PIPOINT using the Database Security plug-in for PI SMT.

• Similarly, default access permissions for root modules match the access permissions for the module database (PIModules). You can set permissions for PIModules in the Database Security tool. New modules below the root level inherit from their parent.
