Project access for EALite
« on: March 22, 2012, 11:50:35 pm »
Hey guys,

Does anyone know the rules regarding project access for EALite?
I'm looking at rolling out EALite on dozens of common-use PCs at a customer site (in meeting rooms, that sort of thing), but then of course information security becomes an issue.

EALite doesn't log in to the project (right?) so there's no need for an in-project user account.
But does the user running EALite need database access permission?

If the answer is no, is there any way I can restrict project access for EALite?

Cheers,

My theories are always correct, just apply them to the right reality.

AFAIK the EALite client behaves exactly as any full version. Except it can't modify the repository. So if security is turned on you need the same constraints as for full EA (Windoze user or EA-local). You can always add a guest account with a common password and just r/o access.

In any scenario, your user will need access to the database if he wants to consult the model.
