Group Checks (PDM)

The following PDM model checks are made on groups:

Check

Description and Correction

Group name and code uniqueness

Group names and codes must be unique in the model.

Manual correction: Modify the duplicate name/code

Automatic correction: Appends a number to the duplicate name/code

Group code maximum length

The group code length is limited by the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition (MaxLen entry, in the Objects > Group category) or in the naming conventions of the model options.

Manual correction: Modify the group code length to meet this requirement

Automatic correction: Truncates the group code length to the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition

Existence of user

A group is created to factorize privilege and permission granting to users. A group without user members is useless.

Manual correction: Add users to group or delete group

Automatic correction: Deletes unassigned group

Group password empty

Groups must have a password to be able to connect to the database (for those DBMS that support passwords for groups.)

Manual correction: Define a password for the group

Automatic correction: None
