Citect 7.2 - Global privilege setting?

Hello all,

I haven't programmed Citect for for a time now so quite rusty. I've searched help but can't find a simple way to implement this (unless there isn't a simple way):-

A client has asked me to add security so that a user has to log in to change setpoints but can view anything. The project was created a few years ago.

OK currently there is no security, I have added users with privileges, login /log out buttons, inactivity timer, allow users to change passwords etc - all working perfectly.

Next is to secure the setpoint so view only and nothing can be changed.

There are many pages and the project includes a library of 100's of setpoint entries on the pages/genie/super genies.

Is there an easier way of doing this or do I need to go into every genie, every super genie, every setpoint entry and change the privilege restriction?

Surely there has got to be an easier way - global privilege restrictions setting so no values can be altered or in this going to take me a long long time to implement...

Thanks for any help

Every point as far as I know to change the security settings. The problem is that every point is individual - this gives great flexibility when you want to allocate different levels to each point but a PITA as you cannot globally alter the level on all set points. The usual plus and minus with everything.

If the setpoint is part of a genie, set the privilege at the genie level then update pages.

Thanks Bob and Kellian for you advice.

As there were 100's libraries of genies, the easiest way I figured out how to do this was open each page (apart from the main menu page where the user logs in and selects pages) and do the following:-

1) Select all (for some reason Citect 7.2 doesn't allow Control A - have to select it from the menu)

2) right click and create a group of all the icons

3) then you can right click and select group properties

4) now I could select privilege restriction for the group, hence everything on the page.

This will work BUT makes editing of pages difficult, if someone in future while trying to edit a page removes the group then the security will be gone. Not sure but can you set the security on the page property.
