Assigning Execution Rights for User Roles

You can assign menu command execution rights in profiles for create templates, verification routines, engineering actions (action sequences) and documentation commands.

Basic Authorizations

If your role has the Configure privilege, then the roles that you can be yourself are shown in the profile tree. You can edit the execution rights for these roles.

If you are logged-in as a model administrator, all roles that are available in the model are displayed in the profile tree. You can edit the execution rights for all roles.

Assigning an Execution Right to a User Role

Prerequisites

You need to be in the Execution Rights view for assigning menu command execution rights for create templates, verification routines, engineering actions (action sequences) or documentation commands.

Your role requires at least the Configure privilege.

The profile that you want to edit must be locked for editing.

All roles that the logged-in user can have are offered.

Context

Before create templates, verification routines, engineering actions or documentation commands can be used by certain user roles, these roles first need to have execution roles for the respective menu commands.

It is also possible to distribute various profiles (and their uses too) to one menu command in various user roles.

Loading a profile (by importing a profile template or model fragment) only changes the execution rights if the profile also contains execution rights.

Execution rights which were assigned in other profiles (e.g. in special profiles for execution rights) are not changed.

The profile tree when in model administrator mode contains a leaf node for each of the model's user roles in each profile. This node is used to set which commands mean that the respective user roles are assigned execution rights in a profile. A user role's effective execution rights in the model are derived by adding individual execution rights from all profiles which are imported from this model.

If the Adopt access rights from execution rights property is activated for a create template used, then all roles with the execution right also receive the access right to elements that are created with this create template.

You can deactivate the View>Imported Entries toggle command to restrict the selection on the right-hand side to the entries defined in the current profile in this view.

How to proceed

Lock the profile which you want to edit and select the user roles in this profile which you want to assign execution rights for.
Select the Create Template, Action Sequence, Documentation Command or Verification Routine entries in the Menu Command drop-down list.

The current assignments are displayed in the assignment compartment.
Select the menu command which an execution right for this user should be assigned to from the not-assigned elements' assignment compartment.
Select Edit>Assign.

The menu command is now listed in the assigned elements' assignment compartment.

Withdrawing Execution Rights

Prerequisites

You need to be in the Execution Rights view for assigning menu command execution rights for create templates, verification routines, engineering actions (action sequences) or documentation commands.

Your role requires at least the Configure privilege.

The profile that you want to edit must be locked for editing.

Context

If you remove assigned execution rights from a user role, the corresponding menu commands are no longer available to users with this role.

How to proceed

Lock the profile which you want to edit and select the user roles in this profile which you want to remove execution rights for.
Select the Create Template, Action Sequence, Documentation Command or Verification Routine entries in the Menu Command drop-down list.

The current assignments are displayed in the assignment compartment.
Select the menu command which an execution right for this user should be withdrawn from the assigned elements' assignment compartment.
Select Edit>Delete.

The menu command is now listed in the not-assigned elements' assignment compartment.

Ignoring an Execution Right

Prerequisites

You need to be in the Execution Rights view for assigning menu command execution rights for create templates, verification routines, engineering actions (action sequences) or documentation commands.

Your role requires at least the Configure privilege.

The profile that you want to edit must be locked for editing.

Context

Use the Edit>Ignore command to mark execution rights for menu commands as "ignored" within an imported profile. These execution rights are then treated as if they were never created.

Execution rights of the standard configuration are restricted by not allowing a role to execute the imported menu command in an importing profile.

How to proceed

Lock the profile which the execution rights should be ignored for.
Select the role in the profile tree which you want to ignore tan execution right for.
Select the Create Template, Action Sequence, Documentation Command or Verification Routine entries in the Menu Command drop-down list.

The current assignments are displayed in the assignment compartment.
In the assignment compartment, select the imported entry for the execution right that should be ignored.

The Edit>Ignore command becomes active.
Select the Edit>Ignore menu command.

The menu command icon is replaced by the Ignore icon.

The execution right behaves as if it had not been defined.
