Can't Create Reference Tag From Remote Tag Provider

Ignition
1

Gateway B is a remote tag provider for gateway A. When I try to create a tag in gateway A that references a tag in gateway B I get the following error:

ExecutionException: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayException: java.lang.SecurityException: Access Denied. Remote tag editing is not allowed for provider 'default'.
caused by GatewayException: java.lang.SecurityException: Access Denied. Remote tag editing is not allowed for provider 'default'.
caused by ExecutionException: java.lang.SecurityException: Access Denied. Remote tag editing is not allowed for provider 'default'.

On gateway B settings:

  • Service Security has the default settings.
  • Service Security ---> Tag Access = Allow
  • Service Security ---> Default Provider Access Level = ReadOnly

On gateway A reference tag configuration:

  • Security ---> ReadOnly = true

Why does the above exception get thrown, I'm not trying to edit the tag, just read it?

Both servers are running Ignition version is 8.1.42

Thank you.

Reference tags are bidirectional. Use an expression tag.

Of course, too easy. Thanks Phil.
