You can on the client side by navigating in the designer to Project-\>properties-\>client-\>permissions. I do not think you can do this for the designer itself.

Bummer… I would like my designers to have the ability to create projects on their own, but simply limit tag edit access on the tag provider itself to Admins only…Otherwise I guess the workaround is limit project create to Administrators and then set access in there…hum…give it a shot. Cheers.

If you’re still on 7.9 or previous, you can set tag editing roles in the realtime tag provider:  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Tag+Providers#TagProviders-StandardTagProvider](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Tag+Providers#TagProviders-StandardTagProvider)

We haven’t yet brought tag security to full parity in 8.0, but it’s high on the list.
