Authorizations for Projects (Restricting Read/Write to users )

[Former Member]

Hi

I want to know how I can .

1) Restrict one users from editing projects of each others in xMII Workbench.

(for ex. User A shud not be able to modify the projects created by user B)

Tell me the steps.

Just some info on MI 12.1 if you are thinking about upgrading...

MI 12.1's Content Management could solve your issue. In this version of MI, you can restrict content developers to shared projects. Shared projects are versioned by the repository thereby allowing developers to track revisions to all MI objects (queries, display templates, HTML pages, etc.). So if developer 1 makes incorrect changes to developer 2's web page, developer 2 can create a new version based on his previous correct version. You should evaluate CM if you are upgrading to 12.1 and have curious developers deleting important content.

Hi Tulip,

I don't believe this is possible at the project level. However, in the next version, 12.1, Content Management and Version Control will be available, and with this, projects can either be shared or unshared.

Currently, you can limit Read / Write priviledges at the template and transaction level, you may consider doing this.

Kind Regards,

Project level security is not available in 12.0, just individual object level Read/Write permissions for templates, transactions, etc. NWDI source control is added in MII version 12.1, but I don't have the details in front of me as they relate to potentials in project level security.

Out of curiosity can you elaborate on this requirement? If users A and B are both qualified and have permissions to perform tasks in the Workbench, and there is no fundamental reason for these users to be doing anything within the other project, besides professional courtesy as a bit of governance, what is the issue? Are you attempting to protect 3rd party intellectual property?
