The first question is, what does 'accessing images' mean? Reading the data, to display on a page? Adding, removing, deleting? Also, what scope do you want to access the images in? If it's from the client/designer, there are a lot more hurdles than on the gateway. This thread has some useful information: > [@Image Management Tool](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/image-management-tool/37558): > > Does anyone have an example of using the Image Management Tool to upload images from a client? Currently using version 7.9. I found the post below, but have not been even close to successful in getting it to work. [[Image Management Tool Query](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/image-management-tool-query/32652)] Thanks! Oh, and let me say up front this time - doing anything where you have to interact with the API will not be supported by support. That's not to say that it's actually bad, but careless use of internal methods could lead to unintended consequences. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/accessing-images-in-image-manager-through-scripting/38025)._
