Permissions Examples

These examples illustrate the use of access permissions in the repository.

Example 1: Folders and Documents

The Y2K folder includes two sub-folders: Data and Specs. The Data sub-folder includes two models: Firstdraft (PDM) and Classes (OOM) models. The Specs sub-folder includes Overview.doc.

The following table lists the permissions assigned to the groups and users working on the project:

Folder	Project leader	Development leader	Developer	Design leader	Designer
Y2K	Full	Read	Read	Read	Read
Data	Full	Write	Read	Read	Read
Documents in Data	Full	Read	Write	Read	Read
Specs	Full	Read	Read	Write	Read
Documents in Specs	Full	Read	Read	Read	Write

The following table lists the rights granted to the groups and users:

Groups or users	Right
Repository and Data Administrator	Connect, Manage All Documents, Manage Users, and Manage Repository
Project leader	Connect, Freeze Versions, Lock Versions, Manage Branches, and Manage Configurations
Developer team leader	Connect, Freeze Versions, and Lock Versions
Developers	Connect, Freeze Versions, and Lock Versions
Designers team leader	Connect, Freeze Versions, and Lock Versions
Designers	Connect, Freeze Versions, and Lock Versions

Note: Users who have the Manage All Documents right (typically data administrators), are implicitly granted Full permission on all repository documents. Such users can check in, freeze, lock, and even delete documents for which they have been explicitly granted only Read permission.

Example 2: Packages

The model FIRSTDRAFT is divided into 2 parent packages: ANALYSIS and IMPLEMENTATION, they correspond to the different tasks the group of developers has to perform.

Each parent package is divided in two packages, each package being under the responsibility of a developer.

The following permissions are assigned to the developers:

Package	Dev. leader	Dev.1	Dev.2	Dev.3	Dev.4
Analysis	Full	Read	Read	Read	Read
Global_ System	Full	Write	Read	Read	Read
Per_Dept	Full	Read	Write	Read	Read
Implementation	Full	Read	Read	Read	Read
Department	Full	Read	Read	Write	Read
General	Full	Read	Read	Read	Write
