Hi there,

I am trying to sent one UDT from EAM gateway to EDGE gateway. I am getting following error

" **Ignition-edge1-poc-ot-uk: Failed: Attempt 1: Access Denied. Remote tag editing is not allowed for tag provider 'edge' in the calculated zone.**"

I searched everything to figure out if there is a switch to enable remove editing and failed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I did not add any user security on edge or on EAM - just stock install.

Regards,

It sounds like the tag provider on the EDGE gateway has a [Service Security](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/security/service-security) policy configured on the gateway that is either set to Read/Write or Read Only. It would need to be set to Read/Write/Edit to allow for editing tags for whatever security zone the EAM controller gateway finds itself.
