Editing partition definitions

You can add or remove modules from a partition definition. You can set the access rights for the modules and select the attributes and views that you want to include with each module that you add.

Before you begin

Log in to Rational® DOORS® as a project manager, database manager, or custom user who has the power to partition data.

Procedure

  1. In the database explorer, select the project that contains the partition definition that you want to edit, and then click File > Properties. You must have modify access to the project.
  2. On the Partition Definitions tab, select the partition definition that you want to edit and click Edit. You can add and remove modules. By default, the attributes and views for each module that you add are included with the same access rights that you gave to the module. You can remove attributes and views from the partition definition, and you can change the access rights for them.

    The access rights option limits the access rights that anyone importing the partition has to the modules, attributes and views.

    For example, if you select Read and Modify when you add a module, users who import the partition cannot assign Create or Delete access. If a user adds Create or Delete access to the imported modules, the additional access rights are ignored. A user with Admin rights to the project where the partition is imported can restrict the access for particular users or groups. For example, they might let the one group have Read and Modify access and give everyone else Read access.
