Setting Up Domains for Use with Owning Organization Participants
To allow users to identify the ownership of parts and documents that are created in the solution with external vendors and suppliers, the organization participants created for vendors and suppliers must be in a domain that allows the users read access to the organization participant.
A simple approach to setting this up is the following:
1. Create a domain that will be used specifically for this purpose. For example create the /Vendors domain using the Policy Administration utility from the site context.
2. Create the access control rule in the Vendors domain that grants READ permission on WTOrganization objects to ALL users.
3. When creating the organization participants that represent external vendors and suppliers using the Participant Administration utility, select the /Vendors domain for the Windchill Domain field.
