Are there security levels n Ignition?  
Can you deny operators access to certain windows or button based on there security level?

If so (hopefully) is the security based on an internal security system or Windows Authentication?

Yes, Ignition has a Role base security authentication system. There’s a lot of information about it in the user manual under Gateway Configuration -\> Security
