Hello, Is it possible to prevent users from creating modules in a folder in a simple way ? The only thing I can imagine is : - removing C access right at folder level - adding C access right at module level But there are a lot of modules and this manipulation would take too much time... So do you know another mean to do that ? Thank you for your answers.

Audrey,

Your users should only have R access to folders. They should not have M or C access, and certainly not D access. In general, your folder access rights should inherit.

When creating a module, do not have the module inherit. Give your read only users RC at the module level, and propagate MD. This lets them create module objects, as well as Modify and Delete them, but prevents them from deleting the module itself.

Your users should never be allowed to create modules in production areas. If you have a lot of folders/module permissions to fix, you should look at DXL scripting to fix it quickly.

If you restrict access at too fine a level you are just creating work for yourself.

If the project is set up sensibly, then modules in the same folder should be pretty closely related and it is likely that the same people will require the same access to them.

The simplest way to control access is to use groups.

Create groups and give them access to the folder, say one group for read, another group for create/modify or whatever you need. Leave the modules with inherited access.
