Restrict user tag search of the PI Data Archive in PIVIsion

Ability to restrict Pi Vision users to use the PI Data Archive tag search when building displays. There exists a feature to restrict user access to AF Databases in the PIVision\admin\UserSettings. However, there is no way to restrict PI Vision users from the PI Data Archive. Or be able to rename the PI DA symbol in the search.

    @John Swartzentruber, the ask from a customer I work with is to have the same ability on the Admin > User Settings > Restrict Database Access page for Data Archives that we have for AF Databases. Basically, block visibility to a configured Data Archive at the Vision level rather than depending on Kerberos and Data Archive security settings to do this. My understanding from the customer is that they cannot implement Kerberos at this time, but need to allow a subset of users to access multiple Data Archives, while others should only have access to a single Data Archive.

    Am I understanding correctly that this request is for an administrator to limit which PI Data Archive servers are available to individual users? There is already an option to configure this for an entire site, but not to have different servers available to different users.

    I have no problem restricting access to certain users for an entire Data Archive. However I am not able to hide the Data Archives that are available in PI Vision. I need this feature as we have two parents companies and we don't want them to even see the names of the Data Archives that belong to the other company.
