Is it possible for Öperator" not to access DeltaV folder? After opening the trends?

It's been observed that "Operator" can access C: Drive , D: Drive, Network system also -- after opening of trends (File > Open>)

Can it be possible to hide these drives from operator view? and make specified selected folder available? Since the operator, would like

to make trends and save it to specfic directory. If so, what are the selected security parameter / tempalate of windows to configure?

  • See the following articles. They describe using group/system policies to change the registry values which hide drives from applications unless they are explicity pathed (i.e. if I type c:\deltav\bin in the file explorer menu I can still get it).:

    Then you can map drives with letters that are not hidden to have a place to store files.  I would make the policies selective based on user group membership or OU.

    Thank you, youssef. It is too late to reply, but i did not observe this problem till now.I tried this solution and it works but there still another problem , when the operator opens PHV and then open a chart from (File > Open>), the address bar still shown to him (D:\DeltaV\DvData\Charts) and he can only delete the files shown by clicking DvData from address bar , so is there any way to hide also the address bar can ,not be accessed or can not be clicked.
    thank you.
