Add or Modify Security Areas

Configuration Hub allows you to manage your iFIX security areas from the Project Security panel.

After you define your users and groups, the next step is to define your security areas and specify a name for each area. You can define up to 254 security areas, and each name can be up to 20 characters. iFIX names the first 16 security areas A through P, by default. However, you can rename these areas or create a new area. After you define a security area, you can assign it to a group or user account.

To manage security areas:

Click in the Area Name field to change the name of a security area.

To add a security area, click the plus (+) at the top of the security area list. The Create New Security Area dialog box appears. Enter a name and click Add.
