Configuring symbol access
- 1. Select the Symbol Permissions tab in the Permission Management editor.
- 2. Configure the following access methods for a mapped server symbol:
Symbol Access: Generally permitted symbol access method that is valid for each user group (default value: Read/Write).
Group Symbol Access: Permitted default access method of a user group for all symbols (see also Creating a new user group).
Specific Group Symbol Access: Permitted user group-specific access method for the symbol that is initially specified by the combination of Symbol Access and Group Symbol Access, whose configurations mutually restrict each other.
However, it is also possible to overwrite this combination so that Symbol Access and Group Symbol Access are invalid for this symbol for this user group.
- 3. Confirm your configuration with OK
Special cases
User is a member of several user groups
If a user is a member of several user groups, the combination of permitted access methods of the user groups applies, which in this case mutually expand one another.
 | The permitted access methods for system server symbols can be configured in Advanced Mode. |
