Add locations to the allowed locations list

Add URLs to the allowed locations list to grant users access to external resources through the Web Browser. The locations can be network locations, or files and folders on the removable media inserted in the HMI device. If the HMI device has multiple USB drives inserted, the drive inserted last is accessible. Add a maximum of 1000 locations. By default, the web browser blocks access to all locations not included on the allowed locations list. Add access to all servers used by the webpages that you add to the allowed locations list. Set access for different security roles.
