Chapter 5 Repository Administration

Controlling Rights for Repository Users and Groups

The repository is designed to be used by different team members. Among the team members, a repository administrator has to manage the repository users.

The repository administrator is responsible for:

Creating users and groups of users who will use the repository
Managing the rights of the different users and groups in the repository

Repository users and groups
The repository has separate groups and users from the DBMS

Groups are used to assign common rights to users in the repository. You can create a hierarchy of groups by inserting sub-groups into a group.

When you install the PowerDesigner repository, two groups are created by default:

Administrators, [ADMN] - has administrative rights over the repository.
All users [PUBLIC] - has no rights. All users belong to this group.
