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. Run the PI System Management Tools (SMT) application.

  2. Under Servers, select a server.

  3. Under System Management Tools, select Security > Identities, Users, & Groups.

  4. Select the PI Identities tab and select the New Identity button Identity icon to open the New Identity dialog box.

  5. In the New Identity dialog box, type a name for the new identity. This is the only field that is required when you create a new identity. Note the following restrictions on identity names:

    • The name must be unique.

    • The name cannot include the vertical pipe (|) character or the colon (:) character.

    • The name cannot be a positive integer, although it can contain numbers. For example, the name 407 is not valid, but the name Admins407 is valid.

    • The name is not case sensitive.

    If you try to create an identity with an invalid name, an error message appears and the identity is not created. Note that you can change an identity name any time after creation.

  6. Select the appropriate server from the drop-down Server list. This list is populated from the selected servers under Servers. Only Data Archive servers version 3.4.380 and later appear in the list. Earlier versions of the Data Archive server do not support PI identities.

  7. Optionally, enter a brief description in Description. There are no restrictions on the contents of this field.

  8. At the bottom of the dialog box, select the Identity cannot be deleted check box. This prevents the identity from being accidentally deleted. To delete this identity, you must first edit the identity and clear this check box.

  9. Select Create. The new PI identity now appears in the PI Identities tab.
