Hello DOJO
We need to hide alarms for some groups, but only the alarms triggered by some templates.
Usually, this is done by restricting rigths and views in the group settings.
But we also need these groups to be able to see the data and the views.
Is there a way to achieve this ?
Hi Joel,
Security is defined on View or Element level, so it's not so straightforward to achieve what you describe here...
The best I can think of, is to create the element twice via replication. You have the original element doing the polling and this one has the alarm template and is available for the people needing access to the alarms as well. Then you duplicate this element, and to avoid double polling the device, it's best to use replication (you can replicate an element from the local DMA). On that duplicated element, you don't put any alarm template, and then this element can be exposed to the group of people without access to the alarms.
It does of course require some more work to add all those elements...

Hello Bert
We have never tried replicating an item yet, but it seems like a great workaround since my requirement is for one item only.
Using this method I am able to create 2 alarm templates, one for each element.
Using a duplicated element could have been a problem because that element request a lot of data.
I will try this immedialtly. 🙂
