  8. In the Scope Rights expander, do one or both of the following:
    • Click Add to add the default system scope. Note that the default scope contains many “Include” rules, and may be too permissive for your setting. For more on defaults, see the section "Predefined System Scope Definition" in Engineering Reference -> Overview of Scopes.
    • In Management View, drag one or more scopes from System Settings > Scopes > Building X Scope.
      NOTE: The following pictured example of Scope Rights (below) supports display and command of all Property and Command Groups except ownership. For a detailed explanation of Scope settings, see "Scopes" in the Engineering Step-by-Step

  9. In the Event Rights expander, select the desired Event Rights.
    NOTE: To send alarms to Building X for each category, Show must be selected for Desigo CC versions 5.0 and later. If you do not want alarms for a category, uncheck Show.

  10. Application Rights are not required.
    NOTE: Selecting them will not change the behavior of the Building X Connector.
