What's the plc? Is it set to have write access in the plc? (applies to logix, not sure about anything else) would apply to OPC UA servers if they're set to read only ---

The connection is to by Modbus TCP OPC UA. I could change the values prior to configuring user access levels. But now I can't even though the access level is set to public, and the tag is not read only. Anyway, the PLC is not Allen Bradly. ---

Show the actual OPC Item Path you used (or from the mapping if you used a mapping). ---

I know that I'm writing to a holding register. The problem is that I can't write to ANY OPC tags in the whole project. I have a lot of connected devices. To a memory tag I can write. Maybe some configuration I need to do to enable the writing. But I can't find any. ---

Good morning Anna. Are you trying to write in Designer or in the Vision Client? You might want to look at the project permissions. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/5/a57ea5b71975420632a1b27922536f875e62a751.png) you don't need to put anything in the roles, but the box must be checked. Not sure if will help, but worth a try. Duane ---
