Recently we had to commission a new instance of an existing machine. I created a copy of the original projects. I used the Find & Replace to change the tag bindings in the new project to the new tag paths.

I was wondering if there was any way to restrict which tag paths an Ignition Vision project can access to prevent any inadvertent cross-referencing of tags from different projects.

Thank you,

Tags are global, however seeing as this is Vision you can try this on a per-project (role/zone) basis:
