Currently, there are 2 windows to configure PI AF security, and it is a pain to switch between them: File → Database → Edit Security, which is used to assign permissions to identities File → Server Properties → Identities tab and Mappings tab, whi...

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

PI AF Security - More Granularity Needed

It would be helpful if AF's security model was more granular. For example (and please correct me if I am wrong), the same settings that allow someone to add/modify UOMs in AF is the same setting that allow someone to change the AF Sever name. This...
