Abstract
MQTT Security Context allows secure command writes through MQTT Engine and MQTT Transmission by using custom tag permissions to authorize a tag write based on user.
When using Ignition Security Context, the user security context is encrypted and included with the published write event message from MQTT Engine. At MQTT Transmission, the security context is decrypted and if the user is authorized to write to the tag, this results in a successful write and the tag change is published. If the user is not authorized to write to the tag, there is no action taken.
Tags must have write permission enabled. Tag write permissions can applied to the entire tag provider or on individual tags to guarantee the write security.
