When access is to be controlled in more detail, permissions are used. A permission can be linked to either a user or a group. Through permissions, access permissions can be controlled right down to tag level.
The following types of permissions are available:
| Permission: | Description: |
| Page Permissions | Used to change the permissions of a particular page |
| Directory Permissions | Used to change the permissions of a particular directory |
| Object Permissions | Used to change the Permissions of a particular page object |
| Tag Permissions | Used to change the Permissions of a particular tag |
| Function Permissions | Used to change the Permissions of a particular function |
Note!
Directory permissions apply to all underlying pages and directories.
Information:
The following global access levels exist:
| Level: | Description: |
| NOACCESS | No global permissions |
| VIEW | Global viewing permissions |
| BASIC | Global authorization to change parameters of level 2 |
| ADVANCED | Global authorization to change parameters of level 3 |
| SYSTEM | Change/Create Pages, Manage IO-devices, and Tag lists |
| ADMIN | Global Administrative Permissions |
| PARENT | (used by the system) |
Note!
Permissions have priority over any global permissions imposed on the user or group. This means that access levels can be raised and lowered using permissions.

Information:
For tag permission, a tag filter is indicated where all tags that start with this tag filter get the same permission. The user will get access to the alarm list for tags that matches the filter.
