Configure security for FactoryTalk AssetCentre

By default, the Administrators and All Users groups in FactoryTalk Directory can perform any task in the FactoryTalk AssetCentre software. To deny specific users the right to perform tasks in FactoryTalk AssetCentre, you must edit the Feature Security settings in the FactoryTalk Administration Console.
IMPORTANT:
Never explicitly deny rights to the All Users or Administrators group in FactoryTalk. Rather, set up specific user groups of your own and deny rights to those groups. Denying rights to All Users or Administrators could lock everyone out of the system and would deny rights in all FactoryTalk-enabled products.
