I am running 7.6.1.

Is there anyway to limit which roles can acknowledge alarms?

I am using a boolean parameter with custom access rights giving certain users ‘Read Only’ rights. This parameter is also set to alarm. When I run the project, the users that I have given ‘Read Only’ rights can not only view alarms, but they can also acknowledge alarms.

On the Alarm Status table, you can remove the acknowledge button (set ‘Show Ack Button’ to false) and create your own acknowledge button with whatever security you want on the button component or even in the script itself.

Hi @B.Williams. May I know how you solve these problems ?
