Managing Data Security
The
Edit Access Control functionality provides a mechanism to view and manipulate access control
permissions on individual
objects (such as parts, documents, CAD documents, and folders).
Assuming that you have the required permissions, you can manage the access control permissions as follows:
• When creating folders, you can change the access control permissions for
participants from within the set of steps presented during the creation by selecting or clearing permission checkboxes in the interface.
• After an object is created, you can use the Edit Access Control action to:
◦ View the access control permissions associated with the object that are applied for you, team members, or others.
◦ Modify access control permissions by selecting or clearing permission checkboxes in the interface. If a checkbox is disabled, you cannot change the permission setting.
◦ View the details about the rules used to calculate access control permissions on an object for a specific participant.
• Propagate access control changes for a folder within a project or program context (including folders shared to these contexts) to the parts, documents, and CAD documents in the folder (if Windchill ProjectLink is installed).
• Recursively apply the access control changes for a folder within a project or program context to all subfolders and propagate the changes to the parts, documents, and CAD documents in each folder (if Windchill ProjectLink is installed).
• Add or remove access control permission settings for multiple objects in one operation.
Your administrator controls the set of possible permissions you can see and change.
