System administrators can use the Access Control feature to define which users and which actions that users can perform on which object types (resources).
Note: aPriori recommends that you contact aPriori Professional Services for assistance in creating and deploying an Access Control environment for your site.
This chapter explains how to configure Access Control. There is also information in the aPriori Professional User Guide that explains Access Control at a very high level. The User Guide chapter also contains information that administrators will find helpful regarding day-to-day use of Access Control, and how to interpret error messages and log files to troubleshoot Access Control issues.
TIP: Organize users into groups and sub-groups and assign access control permissions to those groups.
As an aPriori administrator, you can:
-
Provide granular access to different types of resources such as components, roll-ups, and Digital Factories.
-
Control the actions that users can perform on these resources, such as create, read, update, delete, or cost.
- Organize users into groups and sub-groups and assign access control permissions to those groups
The Access Control feature provides fine-grained control of groups of users to resources such as Digital Factories, parts, assemblies, and the different types of roll-ups.
By default, Access Control for a new or upgraded installation of aPriori is configured to emulate the legacy approach of distinct component and Digital Factory schemas. Sites that choose not to implement Access Control should see little or no difference in behavior after installing or upgrading.
