Set logical name permissions

Starting from version 12.00, RSLogix 5000 supports Logical Names. You can use Logical Names to configure permissions for users and user groups to perform specific tasks in RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer software.
TIP:
We recommend that you use Permission Sets to improve the efficiency of the FactoryTalk Directory cache synchronization in Studio 5000 Logix Designer version 28.00 or later.
RSLogix 5000 is known as Studio 5000 Logix Designer starting from version 21.00.

    )
  • Change the security settings of the logical name (
