Amending An Existing Connector between 2 locked elements
« on: October 24, 2019, 12:34:49 am »
Hi
I've a query  (or issue ??)  relating to  an existing connector that has been created for 2 locked elements and what can/can't be amended in this scenario.  Hoping someone can help please :-)

An Association Relationship was created between  2 Class elements  (both elements were locked and both reside in the same locked package).  A user was able to modify the 'multiplicity' value of the existing Connector between these 2 locked elements. (deemed read-only for them as they are not part of the group lock)

Configure | Security > Administer > Apply Locks to Connectors" option was disabled at the time.

Enabled this option. This has prevented amending say the 'Connector Notes', but it is still possible to amend values such as 'Multiplicity / Ordered/Allow Duplicates' for the Connector between the 2 locked elements.

Is this by design ? ........

Probably not. EA user security is not watertight.
Version control locks are a bit more strict.
