Once you complete your security strategy, the next step is to define your security areas and specify a name for each area. You can define up to 254 security areas, and each name can be up to 20 characters. iFIX names the first 16 security areas A through P by default. However, you can rename these areas or create a new area by clicking the Security Area button on the Security toolbox. After you define a security area, you can assign it to a group or user account.
