I am using an ignition edge and a standard ignition gateway connected over a gateway network. there is a PLC connected to the edge and I have set up a remote tag provider on the ignition gateway and can see the remote tags. however i cannot write to them. I checked both the Security Zones and Service Security in the main Ignition Gateway and as far as i can tell it is set up correctly (as shown below). Is there something i am missing? if so please let me know, thank you.

The Edge node also has to be configured to allow writes and/or edits from the standard gateway.
