Hello,

I know that in the projects and Configure Tab in Ignition, you have to enter the username and password to be able to see/configure it. I would just like to ask if I can set a username and password on the ignition home page?

Like when you log in to your local host for me to be able to see and access the home I’d like to enter a username and password first. Is that possible?

Thank You

Go to the Configure tab of the Gateway and click on Gateway Settings under the Configuration header. Under the Gateway Settings header, there are options for Gateway Config Role(s), Status Page Role(s), and Home Page Role(s). If you fill those in with name of a role, then each page will be password protected, and only users from that given role will be allowed to login.
