Hi! Would anyone know if there is any way to add and remove Security Levels (Security / Security Levels) through an API or System Functions? The System Functions don't provide a way to do so that I can find: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/System+Functions](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/System+Functions) I do find some (fairly poorly) documented calls in the javadocs but that would mean creating a custom Module to expose this kind of functionality... Kind Regards, Nicky ---
