FactoryTalk Historian Trusts

A FactoryTalk Historian trust allows clients to connect to a FactoryTalk
Historian server machine and retrieve data without explicit user login. A
trust may instead allow a user to log in based on an IP address, Windows
domain, user name, application or other criteria.

FactoryTalk Historian trusts are established on the FactoryTalk Historian
server and stored in a trust database.

Point Access Permissions

FactoryTalk Historian DataLink prompts the user for a user name and
password upon connection to a FactoryTalk Historian server. The user
name is used in conjunction with the PtOwner, PtAccess, DataOwner, and
DataAccess fields.

For example, if the sinusoid tag is configured with PtAccess
O:RW, G:NONE, W:NONE, and PtOwner is user1, a user must log
in as user1 in order to access the tag. Otherwise, the tag cannot be
found.

If sinusoid DataAccess is O:R, G:NONE, W:NONE, and
DataOwner is user1, a user must log in as user1 in order to see
sinusoid tag data. Otherwise, a read access error message is returned.

However, the same user may not write data to sinusoid because the
DataAccess attribute is O:R (read only). The FactoryTalk Historian
System Manager would need to change DataAccess to O:RW (read and
write) to enable a user logging in as user1 to read and write data to
sinusoid.
