The "Read & Explore" Scenario

For more details on this scenario, refer to the corresponding section according to your product configuration:

Remarque

By default the option "Read & Explore" based on   Roles is enabled. If you are unsure which configuration is in use, contact your ADONIS administrator.

"Read & Explore" Based on Roles

The purpose of the "Read & Explore" scenario is to let you read processes, explore working instructions and process handbooks.

Remarque

The "Read & Explore" scenario is read-only. Users have no write access to repository content (including all models and objects and their relations).

When you switch to the "Read & Explore" scenario, the state filter is activated by default. Only models and objects in the state "Released" (icon ) are displayed. Model and object types without a state set by a release workflow are not affected. This feature can be deactivated in the Administration Toolkit.
