Path permissions are used to give a user account group or a user account access to the objects defined in the path. Path permissions can also be set on specific properties. The permissions configured on a path apply to all path sub-levels unless you configure new permissions for the path sub-level.
Path permissions grant a specific set of permissions to a user account or a user account group to all the folders, sub-folders and objects contained in these folders (such as alarms, values or graphics) of a certain folder structure in the EcoStruxure Building Operations software.
The permissions defined on a path apply to all its sub-paths unless you configure new permission for a sub-path. Path permissions provided at the top level of the system are symbolized “/”. Path permissions provided to sub-levels of the system are symbolized “/[sub-level name]. Parent server is not included in the path, for instance “/Enterprise server” will only grant access to that specific server and not sub-servers.
A user account or a user account group can be granted the following path permissions: Read, Write, Create, Delete, Edit, Force and Command.

Property Permissions
Property permissions are used to give a user account group or a user account access to the properties of objects defined in the path. The permissions configured on the properties serve to refine permissions granted on the object level.

Relative Path Permissions
Relative path permissions for a folder structure grant a specific set of permissions to a user account group or to a user account to all the folders accessible in a predefined path and its folder structure. Relative path permissions enable a user accounts group or a user account to reuse a specific path permission.
