Hi

In Ignition 8 I can launch the Designer with Administrator Credentials, However when I launch a Vision Client it will not authenticate to allow me to Open a Vision Client with the same Administrator Credentials.

Am I missing a setting to allow me to do this?

Regards,

Hi @Geoffrey.rooney -

Do you see any related exception(s) in the gateway logs?

In the designer, open the `Project` =\> `Properties` menu. Under the `Project` / `General` section, under `Security Settings`, make sure the `User Source` for your project is set to the one you expect. Also take note of the `Required Client Roles` - if roles are set there and your user does not have those roles, you will be unable to login.

Thanks Joel, Had the wrong active directory in the user source, just couldn’t see it.
