About FactoryTalk Security permissions
If FactoryTalk Security services are used to secure parts of an application, to perform
certain tasks, users must have the necessary security permissions.
For example, to create or modify the properties of an application, you must at least be
allowed the Common actions Read, List Children, Write, and Create Children, at the
FactoryTalk Directory that manages the application.
If you receive a FactoryTalk Security message while trying to perform such a task, contact
your system administrator about permissions you might require.
Optionally, you can use the FactoryTalk Administration Console to develop, manage, and secure
multiple applications. However, you cannot use the FactoryTalk Administration Console to create
or modify HMI servers and HMI project components.
