Configure access to a PI AF database

Note: This section doesn't apply if installing in an environment whose end users only use OpenID Connect authentication and you plan to select the authentication option OpenID Connect with Process Identity Client ID for the PI Vision Connection to PI Data Archive and AF Servers in the security settings. (This is the only valid option if your PI Vision server is not installed on a domain.) In that case, proceed to Run the installation kit.

1. Open PI System Explorer.

2. Select the Database button.

   The Select Database dialog box opens and lists all PI AF databases in the currently connected PI AF server.

3. If the currently connected PI AF server is the server to which you want to configure access, skip this step. Otherwise, right-click on the name of the server you want to configure in the list and choose Connect.

4. Right-click the PI AF database and choose Security.

   The Permissions dialog box for that database opens.

5. Select Add.

   The Identities dialog box opens.

6. Select the identity that the AVEVA PI Vision service account has been mapped to.

7. In the Permissions field, check the Read check box in the Allow column.

8. Select OK.
