I don't get the 'Security Settings' window that I see in the Ignition 8.1 User manual located [here]

(Component and Window Security - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation)

Am I missing a setting on the gateway to allow component security to be used?

Are you able to select security in the tab menu under the Property Editor?

I would try View → Reset Panels

If that doesn’t work maybe try deleting .ignition folder and restart the designer. It isn’t a bad idea to backup .ignition folder.

I am having the same issue. Has there been a resolution to this problem?

I had the same issue. I click the panel chooser, reset panels, click again on the panel chooser, security settings and it shows up

That fixed it for me. Thank you!!

We are having this very issue on Ignition Version 8.42 in the Designer that property editor does not pop up. Did anyone find a solution? The Panel Reset option did not solve our issue

Are you sure you've selected a node in the designer tree that is Perspective related? Perspective properties won't show in other workspaces.

I am absolutely sure, as we are strictly working on the Vision system currently. We are trying to utilize the security feature on an individual window or just the root container of that window.

Solved with Ignition support, deleted cleared cache by deleting or .ignition folder

Did you delete the cache? Follow the post from Saed right above yours.

Sorry to revive a thread that hasn't been used recently, but I wanted to share what worked for me. Closing all of designer, deleting the cache, and starting it back up did not work. However, if I delete/rename the entire .ignition directory, that did work, though I'm not entirely sure why. I would recommend renaming so you can copy your settings back in.

However, with what happened while I was doing this I would recommend:

  1. Close designer entirely
  2. check if javaw or other ignition dependencies are still running - if they are, kill them.
    • I suspect the reason the cache clear didn't work was that something wasn't fully released.
  3. now delete the cache folder, and relaunch designer

If this doesn't work, try renaming the entire ignition folder, and see if that fixes it.

Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.ignition
Linux and MacOS: ~/.ignition
