Assigning Relative Path Permissions to User Accounts or User Account Groups

You assign relative path permissions to grant user accounts or user account groups access to a specific path structure in the EcoStruxure Building Operation software.

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.

Furthermore, you can add and delete permissions for this folder structure.

Example

The same set of objects and properties (values, trends, alarms, graphics etc.) is defined in 100 rooms in your building. You define a relative path template that models the folder structure of the rooms in the building, and you define permissions to this folder structure. You define a relative path template by choosing one example of the folder structure. All similar folder structures following the same pattern will inherit permissions defined on the template. Finally, you also define permissions for specific user accounts and user account groups.

For more information, see Creating Relative Path Templates .

Relative Path Permissions Rules

You set permissions on a relative path twice.

First, you set permissions on the objects in the template. Objects in the template can be granted the following path permissions: Read, Write, Create, Delete, Edit, Force and Command.

Second, you set permissions for user accounts and user account groups. A user account or a user account group can be granted the following path permissions: Read, Write, Create, Delete, Edit, Force and Command.
