Table Security table

Table Security records are used to provide security configuration for an entire RealTime database (RTDB) table. Table security records are located in the tableSecurity table and are configured using the tableSecurity Row Edit dialog box.

Unlike Area of Responsibility (AOR) security where security is configured on a per record basis, table security provides a method of configuring security on a per table basis. If the table does not have an AOR group, then table security records are used. However, if the table does have an AOR group (for example, analog, rate, or status), then AOR security is used. If there are any tables with an AOR group in the Table Security table, that entry is ignored.

The Table Security table lists the RealTime tables and the defined groups that have read or write access to these tables. It does not include RealTime tables that use AOR Security. A RealTime table that doesn't use AOR Security and doesn't have an entry in the table. Table Security table is defaulted to use a Write Group permission of "DNA Permission - Config_Database" and Read Group permission of "DNA Permission - View".

Normally, the Table Security table configuration does not need to be modified. If the Read Group entry is empty, the Controller/Administrator must have "DNA Permission - View" to read the table. If the Write Group is empty, the Controller/Administrator must have either "DNA Permission - Control_SCADA" or "DNA Permission - Config_Database" to change data in the table.
