Hey All, I recently was looking at my OPC-UA settings, when I hit save (after changing to read only) I exited and the connection went to Faulted instead of connected. I went back into the settings and changed everything back to the default settings to try and see if there was a way to reconnect but no dice on that end either. So I tried deleting that connection in hopes that a brand new connection with default settings would be able connect no problem, following the steps laid out in the 7.9 manual. Again no dice so I’m a bit stuck as to what caused this faulting to occur. When I look at the details surrounding this issue I get the following message “status=Bad\_UserAccessDenied, description=User does not have permission to perform the requested operation.” Any insight to this would be much appreciated, thanks. ---

Does your gateway still have the ‘opcua-module’ user source? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/6/6f9840ca9511f6c8af42665d52982a5e56f6725c.png) Also, under Configure → OPC-UA Server → Settings, is this authentication profile assigned to Ignition’s OPC-UA server? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/b/b24bba77ddec56f43656edc5010aef5d32534ebb.png) If both of those are true, is there an actual user inside the ‘opcua-module’ user source? The default user is ‘opcuauser’ with password ‘password’. ---

All of that is true. The connection is back up and running, after again not changing anything. Holding my breath and hoping that it stays that way. ---

Yeah. I found it to be the case too that the OPC-UA server seems to randomly stop. Usually clicking edit and saving solves it but once I had to reset the module. This seems to be an issue (somewhat recurring but not that hard to fix) since i’ve seen it commented somewhere around here before. ---

Thanks guys ! Had the same issue. Got it resolved by selecting the correct auth profile. ---

You should probably start a new topic with additional details, like what OPC server you are even connected to. ---
