For a project requirement the customer wants to be able to dynamically control the user control. For example you could have a local user and a remote user with basically the same permissions (i.e. both are allowed to perform sets on devices). But at any point in time only one of them is allowed to do so. So if the local user has the control, the remote user cannot perform sets. And if the remote user has control, the local user cannot perform sets.
I think this could be achieved by assigning both users to different user groups (one with visible write parameters and the other with hidden write parameters) and then dynamically modify those group permissions accordingly. But is that possible? Is this information readily available and can it for example be retrieved and displayed and can it be manipulated as well using code?
Thank you Ive,
No I did not. Probably because my simplified example only mentioned 2 different user groups, but there could actually be more and moreover with several control combinations. So it is really about having to manage the control possibilities for several groups of users at the same time.
Lesson learnt: never provide an oversimplified example.
Hi Conan,
It's not a real answer to your question, but did you consider the locking feature?
