Permission to filter specific alarm area

I have a DeltaV DCS where the operators share a common login and where they do not have permission to change alarm area filtering on their workstations. However on two of the workstations I need to allow the operators to toggle the filtering of two specific alarm areas on demand without affecting the configuration of the other alarm areas on those stations.

For example, I was thinking of creating a button to execute a toggle like this:

ToggleDigitalPoint "THISUSER/AREAFILT[1].F_CV"

The problem I have is that of parameter security. I need to allow a specific alarm area filter to be toggled when the button is clicked and parameter security is preventing the action. Is this possible, or is there a different approach I should explore?

  • Permission to filter specific alaram area : for this we have allready assigned the different area for the plants in the deltav explorer
    i think it is not necessary for the any one or to change the area on the operator station
    as area for the plants are specific these area are not change unless untill any modification has been done in the plant .
    Till if you want to selection of area in the operator station : then with administartor logon we can filter the area for the specific plant. provided the different area must be assigned in the operator station . if the area is not assigned in the operator station then in deltav explorer we can assign the area for the specific plant in the specific workstation and downlaod the specific workstation.
