Basic Authorization Concept

Innovator manages privileges, access rights and execution rights. You require administrator rights for the model or repository for certain functions. A lock concept exists to avoid extensive consolidation time.

Rights can be assigned in three ways in Innovator.

• Some operations (e.g. configuration and label assignment) have privileges i.e. a role can carry out the tasks assigned to it. Privileges can only be granted or withdrawn by the model administrator. Each role can individually have privileges granted or withdrawn.

• Access rights are stored for every individual element. These rights are pre-assigned using role membership of the user who created this element.

• Role-based execution rights are only managed for create templates, verification routines, engineering actions and documentation commands; these provide or execute appropriate menu items.

Innovator uses its own access control for model elements. If a user accesses a model element using the access right, they can then lock the element for exclusive editing.

Administrator rights are managed for models, repository server and license server.
