The access control list (ACL) applies to both export and import operations. If an export or import operation specifies an object action that you do not have privileges for, the entire transaction fails.

For example, a user without revise privileges for an object type cannot defeat ACL control by using the Import as new version action. Therefore, the access control rule for importing new versions of WTParts includes Revise permissions.

As another example, the access control rules for importing reusable attributes include their specific type to allow non-administrator users to import them: FloatDefinition, BooleanDefinition, IntegerDefinition, RatioDefinition, StringDefinition, and URLDefinition.

You must log on as an administrator and set the following access control rules for Windchill export and import operations for non-administrative users.

The rules in the following tables are examples that may meet your needs. They do not represent the minimum permissions required for a non-administrator to perform the indicated actions.

You create WTParts, WTDocuments, EPMDocuments, and Folders as an administrator, and you export them as a non-administrator.
