Hi,

we have a bunch of shared encyclopedias and I want to be able to enforce read only access to some encyclopedias and/or users. As SA has no real security built in, the only other option I see is to use standard SQL Server security.

Now I don't know how to setup SQL Server user priviledges so that the user could only open the encyclopedia but not change anything. Also the default "SAUser" role has all R/W rights granted.

Any idea?


Regards,
Jan Rychtar

If you investigate using the establishing a catalog, creating of moving databses the the catalog (Enterprise Databases) and then using the catalog manager you can limit accesses to the application.

I had created a Role with R only for several Diagrams and Definitions. SA is enforcing the read only for the diagram BUT it doesn't work if the Definition is open from the Definition branch. Any Ideas?

We've done a lot of tries with Catalogue Manager(CaMa). On version 10.4.18 we did a lot to try to separate the R/W and R-only categories in groups - and so on. The best thing is to have focus on one group for the R-only function. And try to see if that works. We've been suprised(not positive) that the inheritage we expect to work - not always worked. We do have focus on the new release of System Architect because Telelogic have made different changes to CaMa that are more or less published. Have focus on the parent/child/inheritage things. Often we have seen it as a boresome work/problem. Again: You have to be aware of the version of System Architect. It is highly recommended to have the latest version installed.

You would think that the read only access functionality would be documented somewhere by now.

Would be too sensible to have a read-only role already specfied in Catalog Manager

or

documented in the Installation guide.

I have found the best way to provide read only access is to create a new Read Only role and grant the role expressions for role Administrator as Inherit and the role Write Only as Disinherit.

Then you can grant the Read Only role to Everyone (if you so chose) and then specific roles to groups of users or individual users to grant specific write access to .
