Access rights

[Michael Schneider]

Hi,

in a shared model stored in a SQL database is it possible to set access rights to certain packages as read-only (so that certain users can't check them out and change them) or even no-access (so that they can't even look at them)? Any help on how that could be achieved would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

You can use EA user security to manage read/write access for individual persons or groups. Hiding is not possible. If you have confidential models drag those parts out of the main model and create a second one where you import the public stuff via XMI.

Hi, how exactly can you manage access rights for particular packages using EA's user security? I thought, you can only do that for the whole model. Thanks!

You can create groups and lock packages per group (or individual user). Note that this is not a safe lock since each EA user has the tools to circumvent the lock easily. It's more an "accidental deletion prevention". EA is not a bank application but a modeling tool to enhance communication. Not to hide information.
