Impact of Restricting Access to Metamodel Elements

Based on examples, this chapter illustrates how changing metamodel rights affects working with the ADONIS NP web client.

Wskazówka

For information on how to change basic or detailed metamodel rights, please refer to the section Edit Metamodel Rights.

Scenario 1: Creating Models/Objects

Creating models/objects requires permissions to create models/objects of this type and write permissions to the Name attribute.

Example

Edit the basic metamodel rights of the system role "Participant" to the model type Analysis Model:

  • Set the permissions to the Name attribute to Read.

Now users with the system role "Participant" cannot create Analysis Models.

You can achieve the same result by editing the detailed metamodel rights of the system role to the model type and setting "Create models" to denied.

Scenario 2: Editing Models/Objects

Editing models/objects requires permissions to edit models/objects of this type.

Example

Edit the detailed metamodel rights of the system role "Participant" to the class Service:

  • Set "Edit objects" to denied.

Now users with the system role "Participant" cannot edit or rename Services.

Scenario 3: Adding Objects to a Model

Creating objects in a model requires permissions to create objects of this type.

Example

Edit the detailed metamodel rights of the system role "Participant" to the class Risk:

  • Set "Create objects" to denied.

Now users with the system role "Participant" cannot create new Risks. They can still re-use Risks from the Object Catalogue in models.

Scenario 4: Saving a Copy of a Model

Saving a copy of a model requires permissions to create all the modelling object and relation types which the model contains.

Example

Edit the detailed metamodel rights of the system role "Participant" to the class Note:

  • Set "Create objects" to denied.

Now users with the system role "Participant" cannot create new Notes. They cannot save a copy of a model that contains a Note.

Scenario 5: Deleting Objects

Deleting objects requires permissions to delete objects of this type.

Example

Edit the detailed metamodel rights of the system role "Participant" to the class Note:

  • Set "Delete objects" to denied.

Now users with the system role "Participant" cannot delete Notes. They cannot delete a model that contains a Note.

Scenario 6: Opening a Model that Contains Unavailable Objects

Accessing an object in a model requires permissions to read objects of this type:

Example

Edit the basic metamodel rights of the system role "Participant" to the class Risk:

  • Set the permissions to No access.

Now Risks are not available for users with the system role "Participant". When they open a model that contains a Risk, the Risk is invisible for them.

Scenario 7: Deleting a Model

Deleting a model requires permissions to delete models of this type.

Example

Edit the detailed metamodel rights of the system role "Participant" to the model type Analysis Models:

  • Set "Delete models" to denied.

Now users with the system role "Participant" cannot delete Analysis Models.

Overview of Permissions to Individual Functions

What permissions are required for the different tasks that can be performed in ADONIS NP?
