Provide access privileges to users for the weight and balance data

As a system administrator, you can provide access privileges to the business users for the weight and balance data. By default, Teamcenter provides a configurable rule tree. You can add a new rule by specifying a condition, value, and Access Control List (ACL) name. You can reuse the ACLs at any time.

For detailed information about setting ACLs, see Managing ACLs.

Procedure

1. In Access Manager, add a new rule by adding a condition.
2. In the condition, specify the type of accessor you need to enforce. For example, the condition can have an attribute, class, or description field.
3. After you define the accessor, you can add an ACL. You can choose one from the existing ACLs or create a new one.

Examples

Consider that you define an access rule related to the Actual method type.

You specify the class name as Wnb0MassAndBalanceAttr. There is an attribute on this class, which is Wnb0MethodType. And the value of the method type is Actual. You create an ACL called WnBAttrACL_Actual.

You can view these in Access Manager as shown in the following image (image not reproduced here).

Then, for the Accessor Type called Role, the Accessor called Designer, and the Method Type called Actual, you grant the Read privilege but deny the Write and Delete privileges, as shown in the following image (image not reproduced here).

Similarly, you can grant access privileges for the Asserted Method Type, using the same class and attribute name. However, the value for the Method Type must be Asserted.

Now, according to the ACL that you set, a Designer can read the value of the Actual mass in the Mass Properties section of the Weight and Balance tab. However, if the Designer tries to modify the value of the Actual mass, they get an error message stating that the access is denied.
