Chapter 5 Administrating Repository Users

Creating a group

Each PowerDesigner repository group has the following general properties:

Property Description
Name The name of the item which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users
Code The technical name of the item used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces
Comment Additional information about the group

Note   Granting permissions to a group
You have to grant access permissions to a new group in order for user members to inherit these permissions. If a user connects to the repository without access permissions, he cannot see any document in the browser.

Steps To create a group:

  1. Select Repository→Groups to display the List of Groups dialog box.

    It displays the two groups created by default upon repository initialization.
  2. Click the Add a row tool.

    An arrow is displayed at the beginning of a blank line.
  3. Type a name in the Name column.
  4. Type a code in the Code column.
  5. Click the Apply button.
  6. Click OK.
