Identity table (PIIDENT)

The PI identity table (PIIDENT) stores configuration data that defines PI identities. PI identities represent the privileges that users obtain when they connect to the Data Archive server. PI identities describe access levels to Data Archive secure objects, such as PI points and PI modules. The PI identity table was added in Data Archive 3.4.380.

When you upgrade from a version prior to 3.4.380, data from the PI user and PI group tables are preserved for backwards compatibility and moved to the PI identity table; the PI user and PI group tables are merged with the PI identity table.

For more Information about configuring security, see Security configuration.

To create a new identity, MyNewIdentity, that can be used in a mapping or trust, type:

* (Ls - PIIDENT) PIconfig> @mode create
* (Cr - PIIDENT) PIconfig> @tabl piident
* (Cr - PIIDENT) PIconfig> @istr ident
* (Cr - PIIDENT) PIconfig> MyNewIdentity
*> MyNewIdentity
* (Cr - PIIDENT) PIconfig> @ends
* (Cr - PIIDENT) PIconfig>
