PowerDesigner Portal Users and Groups

Repository users with the Manage users right can view, create, modify, and deactivate users and groups, and manipulate their assignment to groups via the PowerDesigner Portal.

Users and groups can be created here or through PowerDesigner (see Controlling Repository Access).

• Creating a Repository User
  You can create users on the Users and Groups tab.
• Creating a Repository Group
  You can create groups on the Users and Groups tab.
• Granting Rights to Users and Groups
  Each repository user and group has a set of rights that govern its interactions with the repository. A new user has only the Connect right assigned by default, and a new group has no rights. You can assign rights to users and groups on the Rights tab of their property sheets.
• Adding a Member to a Group from the Member's Property Sheet
  You can add a user or a group to a group from the prospective member's property sheet. When the member is added to the group he will benefit from the rights associated with that group.
• Adding a Member to a Group from the Group's Property Sheet
  You can add a user or a group to a group from the receiving group property sheet. When the member is added to the group he will benefit from the rights associated with that group.
• Deactivating a User
  The repository administrator or a user with the Manage Users right can deactivate users, canceling their rights and permissions in the repository. A user cannot deactivate himself.
• Deleting a Group
  The repository administrator or a user with the Manage Users right can delete groups from the repository. When you delete a group you do not delete the members (either users or groups) of the group.
