Title: A way to prevent user access to certain packages?
Post by: emusty on January 23, 2011, 05:51:51 am

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent users accessing/viewing certain models or packages within an EA project (while enabling accessing others)? User security can be enabled and version control can be configured, if necessary.

However I can't seem to find any such option but to control access to operations project-wide.

Thanks

You can lock packages via security. But that's not a real security. Any newly added element is unlocked per default and can be modified/deleted from any user.

More secure would be to version control packages. But that has other drawbacks (like dead lock situations where two users have checked out different packages and you need to draw a relation between elements in these two packages).

Hiding is not possible (AFAIK). I'd have some stomach ache with that anyway since the model should enable communication, not hide information.

Thans for confirmation -- I was afraid of this answer.
