ACRs, Roles and Scopes

Administrator User Guide

Data Access Control (DAC) : ACRs, Roles and Scopes

Each user can be given one or more Access Control Rights (ACRs). Each ACR consists of two parts:

•

A Role, which defines what operations a user can carry out on which elements; for example, create, modify and delete all types of Piping elements.

•

A Scope, which defines the part of the design to which the Role applies; for example, a particular Site (in MODEL) or Registry (in DRAFT), or a specified volume within the model.

Roles and Scopes must be created before you can create ACRs. They are both defined within a project, but Roles are likely to be company-wide and used for all projects, and so they are defined in very general terms, whereas Scopes are project-specific.
