Disable Group
Associated with: MQTT Sparkplug™ B Groups
Security permission required to access this pick action: Disable Group
Use the Disable Group pick action to cancel the subscription to the Group Id on the broker. The MQTT Sparkplug B Group Out is taken Out of Service, so that the Group is no longer active.
Be aware that disabling a Group de-activates all the items associated with the Group, although their configuration will remain unchanged.
Use the Enable Group pick action to place the Group back In Service. An entry is logged in the Event Journal whenever either pick action is used. The message indicates whether the Group has been enabled or disabled.
NOTE: The 'Disable...' series of pick actions are assigned the Disable Points security permission so that users with that permission can disable database items without necessarily being given the full Configure security permission. A user, such as an operator, whose User Account is given the Disable Points permission but not the Configure permission can disable a database item, but is prevented from altering the rest of that item's configuration.
NOTE: If using this pick action with the Automation Interface, you have to specify the method name Disable.
