How To Limit User Access To WebReach

WebReach (IIS) does not have any security in its programming.  However, you can use NT security to limit access to folders which contains the diagrams of the meters.  The diagrams are of file extension *.dgm and they can be located where you installed ...ION Enterprise\config\diagrams\ud.

Example 1:
If you only want group A to have access to WebReach, you will need to change the permissions on the folder that contains the network.dgm.  You will need to deny access to everyone except for Group A and system administrator.

Example 2:
You only want Ted to have access to Meter1.  However, Meter1.dgm file is contained in a folder that has more than one meter.
