Configure occurrence removal access for an aligned engineering BOM and design structure

In scenarios where a BOM engineer creates a part occurrence and a design engineer creates a design occurrence, an alignment between the two generates a business object called PublishLink, which is owned by the engineer who creates the alignment.

Example

If a BOM engineer creates the alignment, they own the PublishLink. If the design engineer tries to delete the aligned design occurrence or the alignment itself, the system attempts to remove the PublishLink. Since the design engineer does not own the publish link, this action results in an access error.

Conversely, if the design engineer creates the alignment, they will own the publish link, and if the BOM engineer tries to remove the aligned part occurrence or the alignment, they also encounter an access error.

To prevent such errors, both the BOM engineer and the design engineer must have access to the PublishLink object.

Prerequisites

• Ensure that you have the Access Manager license.

Procedure

To grant access:

1. Launch the Access Manager.
2. Create an access rule for the required set of users for the PublishLink.
