Transforming into locked packages

[Ian Mitchell]

Apologies if I'm doing this wrong, but my customer has just asked me what I thought was a silly question.
They have a locked part of their model, for master versions of stuff only.
A user is trying to create a Communication diagram from a Sequence Diagram in this locked area, and to save it in their own area, for which they have permissions.
So, they choose Tools | Model Transformations, and select Communication.
EA correctly doesn't let them choose the locked, master package to put the resulting diagram, so they choose their own package.
...but when they do the transformation, the resulting diagram is created, but in the Locked area!!
Are they doing this wrong? Is there some other option? This seems to break the EA security model, so they are naturally concerned.

[Ian Mitchell]

...and having created the diagram in the wrong place, the user can't then delete it, as they don't have the necessary permissions :-(

There are a couple of threads here dealing with that. Basically you can execute the SQL

Code: [Select]

DELETE FROM t_secpolicies WHERE Property = 'Enabled'.
That would turn of security. But first you should ask the EA admin to put you into the right security group so you are allowed to make changes.

Thanks for the reply qwerty,

I converted to mdb (access), and not on any record in the table t_secpolicies...

That means you do not have EA security enabled. Maybe you have version control?
