Please add the _Vision_ or _Perspective_ tag to your post. It will then get the right people to look at it. It looks like Perspective.

Set the write permissions on the tags, not the gui. This will centralise the configuration rather than having the same permissions duplicated everywhere and potentially different everywhere.

You'll need to create a security level in the gateway config for all of your user roles. Then in the tag security config you can set the write permissions to your role's security level. To disable the button in the gui, you can read the 'canWrite' property of the tag
