Clarify the implicit permissions in Database Security

In PI System Management Tools, under Security → Database Security, it is not clear what the implicit permissions are. The implicit permissions are stated in fine print at the bottom of this page. I feel that these should be made more obvious where they are actually shown. There are several ways that this can be done:

  • Be able to toggle the display of the implicit permissions on or off

  • Show the implicit permissions permanently, but grey them out with a tooltip that appears if you hover over one, explaining the implicit permissions

  • Repeat this fine print, but in PI System Management Tools

For the first 2 bullet points, my intention is that the actual PI Identities would be shown and not just a description of the implicit permissions like the documentation has.

The solution that AVEVA chooses does not necessarily need to be any of the ones that I listed, as long as the implicit permissions are clearer.
