Chapter 5 Repository Administration

Creating a group

Steps To create a group:

  1. Select Repository→Groups to open the List of Groups, which lists, by default, the two groups upon repository initialization:
  2. Click the Add a row tool and type a name in the Name column.
  3. Click the Properties tool to open the property sheet of the new group.
  4. Complete the appropriate properties and then click OK.

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 rights to a new group in order for user members to inherit these permissions (see Specifying a group's rights). If a user connects to the repository without access rights, he cannot see any document in the browser.
