Hi,

I need to grant a third party read-only OPC UA access to only certain UDTs I have in the Designer. So far, with the current user, they can see all the tags. What should I do to create a user who can only view the specific UDTs/tags I choose?

Thanks in advance!

You can't. The current security settings are all or nothing. I don't know if this will change in 8.3 as the developers will have to chime in on that.
