Prevent a resource from inheriting permissions

When the chain of inheritance is broken, the resource no longer inherits permissions from its parent resources. For example, when setting up security for an area, selecting
Do not inherit permissions
stops the area from inheriting permission from the application in which it is located.
To prevent a resource from inheriting permissions
  1. In
    FactoryTalk Administration Console
    Explorer
    , right-click the resource, then select
    Security
    .
  2. In
    Security Settings
    , on the
    Permissions
     tab, select
    Do not inherit permissions
    .
  3. Do one and select
    OK
    :
    • To use the inherited permissions that were formerly applied to the resource as explicit permissions, select
      Copy the current permissions from the parent object to this object
      . Modify the permissions set as needed. Changes made to the parent object permissions are not applied to this resource after the chain of inheritance is broken.
    • To remove all inherited permissions from the resource, select
      Remove all inherited permissions from this object
      . Grant explicit permissions to the resource as needed.
      When removing all inherited permissions,
      Read
       and
      Configure Security
       permissions are automatically granted to the
      Administrators
       group. Always grant the
      Administrators
       group both of these permissions.
      TIP:
      Security settings configured for resources apply to all
      FactoryTalk
       products in the system in the current
      FactoryTalk
       directory. For example, when denying a user and computer
      Read
       access to an area, that user and computer cannot see the area in any of the
      FactoryTalk
       products in the system.
