Chapter 5 Managing Repository Documents

Examples

The following two examples illustrate the use of access permissions in the repository.

Example 1: Folders and documents

Let's consider the project Y2K.

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 permissions are assigned to the different groups and users working on the Y2K 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 sums up the user rights:

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

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

Manage All Documents
A user with the Manage All Documents right, typically a data administrator, has implicitly the Full permission on all repository documents.
