Mass Management of Rules

You can create rules only in the Groups and Users tabs. The Login Rules, Model Admin Rules and Model Server Rules tabs give an overview of all applicable rules so that they can be managed at the same time from one place.

Rule Tables

Purpose and Navigation

You can only create login, model administrator and model server rules in the Groups and Users tabs.

The Login Rules, Model Admin Rules and Model Server Rules tabs give an overview of all applicable rules and all alternative constrained editing options.

You can maintain all existing rules here. You can sort and filter all rules. This makes it easier to identify which rules cannot be reached and therefore have no effect, in order to change or delete these rules.

The following rules are flagged as rules that cannot be reached:

Cannot be reached by other rules

The icon's tool tip shows "".
Project does not exist

The icon's tool tip shows "".

You can use the Go to Users/Groups (+M) command to quickly reach the rules in the Groups or Users tabs.

You can use the Go to Excluding Rule (++M) command to quickly reach the rule that is preventing a rule from being reached.

Examples of Use

Do you want to know which rules are not currently effective?

Sort the rules tabs by the Reachable column so that the entries that cannot be reached appear at the top. Search by other columns too, if necessary.

Do you want to know who is allowed to log-in to certain models?

Sort the Login Rules tab by the Model and User/Group columns and filter the display, if required. Note whether or not the rules can be reached.

An asterisk in the Model column means that the group or user can log-in to all models of the applicability area restricted, if appropriate, by the domain, project license server, and repository with the roles specified in the Role column as long as these roles exist in the model.

Do you want to know who is allowed to log-in to certain models as model administrator?

Sort the Model Admin Rules tab by the Model and User/Group columns and filter the display, if required. Note whether or not the rules can be reached.

Do you want to know who is allowed to start model servers in certain projects?

Sort the Model Server Rules tab by the Project column and filter the display, if required. Note whether or not the rules can be reached.
