Auditviewer separation of roles

Move Auditviewer function away from local PI System access

I want to run the Auditviewer function as a unprivileged remote user, moving away from the current requirement to run as a local user on the PI Data Archive Server.  This is so I can minimize security risk associated with local user access on a Wi...

Add configurable defaults for PI Point "Pointsecurity" and "Datasecurity"

Read access to the PIPOINT table is required for most identities. Pointsecurity and Datasecurity currently use the settings on the PIPOINT table as the default. New points will generally give read access to most identities because of these default...

Have an option in AF Security to not pass down database security to newly created objects

Use case: We want to give a user read access to a single element. All future elements created inherit the Database level Security, meaning the user will also have read access to all future created elements.

Have pre-made PI Identities with minimum permissions by default

It currently takes more effort to follow AVEVA's recommendation of setting minimum permissions for all PI service accounts than it is to use fewer service accounts with more permissions. To help steer PI administrators in the right direction, plea...

Remove and disable permissions that do not apply in PI System Explorer's Security Configuration window

In PI System Explorer → File → Database → Edit Security, the "Permissions for" box always lists all permissions that can possibly be set within PI AF, regardless of the selected objects. Instead, only permissions that apply to the selected objects...

Rename or add descriptions for Read, Write, Read Data, and Write Data permissions in PI System Explorer

In PI System Explorer, the definitions of the Read, Write, Read Data, and Write Data permissions are not clear from their names. Their names are also misleading. For example, Read permission can be interpreted as "General Read", making Read appear...
