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.

1. Click the Users and Groups tab, select Users or Groups on the left of the screen, and click the appropriate entry in the list to go to its property sheet.
2. Click the Rights tab and select the check boxes corresponding to the rights you want to assign. The following rights are available:

   • Connect - To connect to the repository.

   • Freeze - To freeze document versions.

   • Lock - To lock document versions.

   • Edit PowerDesigner Portal Objects - To edit objects in a Web browser (see Editing Object Comments and Descriptions).

   • Manage branches - To create, modify, and delete branches.

   • Manage configurations - To create, modify, and delete configurations.

   • Manage all objects - To create, check in, check out, unlock, unfreeze, define permissions, and delete any document version.

     Note: This right is typically granted to data administrators, and implicitly includes Full permission on all repository documents to allow them to check in, freeze, lock, and delete any document.

   • Manage users - To create, modify and delete repository users and groups, grant rights to users and groups, and add users or groups to a group.

   • Manage repository - To create, upgrade, and delete the repository database.

3. Click Save to save your changes and return to the list of users or groups.
