I am trying to figure out how to set my Designer user source without affecting the Client User Source. I am trying to do this to be able to use roles and logins specifically for the Designer. I have two user sources and source ‘A’ is for logging into the designer and source ‘B’ is for logging into the client. When i change the user source under the properties of the project it changes my Client user source that is defined in the gateway under the project. I want to use the roles to protect windows and objects via designer user source ‘A’.

Source ‘A’ - Internal  
Source ‘B’ - AD/Internal Hybrid

It sounds like you’re modifying just the Project’s User Source. If you want to change which User Source the Designer uses, you need to change the **System User Source** on the Gateway:

Configure section \> Gateway Settings \> System User Source.
