I am a newbie to Ignition. I have a question about granting permission to a tab strip. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/2/927cba9cb299f2f280c647bc50fbd10bc4fea894.png) There are two Windows whose names are Window A and B. While anyone can open Window A by touching Window A tab, only an authorized person logged in as an administrator can open Window B when he presses Window B tab. I wonder if I can give authorization to each tap in the tab strip or not. I cannot find any functionality like that in the tap strip properties. It looks like I can give the authorization to the whole tab strip only like "Access Denied Overlay", "Disable" and "Hide". ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/5/7505ad53bff5234c343290f4f0e4972ec7613a67.png) It may be very simple, but I have been struggling with it for a long time. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me advice about this. ---

Can you set the view permissions as you desire on the nested views in the tab? This should work and you won’t need security on the tab. Frank \*assuming you use embedded views in the tabs ---

This is Vision, so no embedded views. The proper approach is to set security restrictions on the _window_ - let the tab strip attempt to open it and fail if the user doesn't have permissions. [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Component+and+Window+Security](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Component+and+Window+Security) If you set restrictions on the tab strip, you _won't_ have any access protection on the window if you ever add another way to open the same window, such as a menu, button, etc. ---

Thanks franklepowski! Your answer is correct. I was so stupid.I need to study and experience Ignition very much more. Thanks again for your advice. ---

I am doing perspective exclusively anymore. It’s on the brain…..However the thought process aligns with Paul’s comments.
