Protect graphic objects with a password

Protect a container or a drawing with a password to prevent other FactoryTalk Optix Studio users from editing the protected object children.

Important: Protecting graphic objects with a password may not prevent advanced users from bypassing the object protection and should not be considered a safety or intellectual property protection.
  1. In Project view, right-click a container or drawing object to protect.
  2. Select Password protection > Set password.
  3. Enter a password.
  4. (optional) Select Show password to verify that you entered the password correctly.
  5. Select OK.

In Project view and in the Editor, appears next to the password protected object. The child objects are hidden in Project view and cannot be edited.
