Config.ini [<Area>-REALMAREAS] Section Variables

The Config.ini [<Area>-REALMAREAS] section enables you to indicate the areas that should be permissible when a group user is logged on to your application. To properly employ the [<Area>-REALMAREAS] section, follow the syntax below:

[<Area>-REALMAREAS]

Area = <area>

Area = <area>

...

Note: The question mark (?) and asterisk (*) wildcard characters are permitted. Area declarations are not case-sensitive, nor is the [REALMAREAS] section heading.

In the example above, <Area> in the section heading (i.e. [<Area>-REALMAREAS]) indicates the name of the realm or security group, and <area> declarations beneath the section heading indicate the tag areas permissible when a user is logged on to that realm. For example:

[NE-REALMAREAS]

Area = Tank

Area = Pump

Using the example above, a VIC user logged on to the "NE" realm or security group using his or her user account will be permitted to view all tags whose area is either "Tank" and/or "Pump".

Note: In addition to configuring the [<Area>-REALMAREAS] section, you must be sure to set up security groups in order to restrict users to certain tag areas based on the realm to which they've logged on. Instructions on setting up security groups are provided in Security Groups.

Note: Detailed information on realm area filtering (including examples) is provided in Realm Area Filtering.
