Data Archive side of the mapping

On the Data Archive side of the mapping, you can use a PI identity, a PI user, or a PI group. It is best to use a PI identity, for consistency. PI users and PI groups imply direct management of users on Data Archive. If you are no longer managing users on Data Archive, this could cause confusion for other Data Archive administrators. If you use PI identities only for mappings or trusts and PI users/groups only for PI account management, then other administrators can easily interpret your security configuration.

Note: If you need to use a PI user account in a mapping, then disable explicit logins for that account. PI user passwords are not secure.
