Designing Permissions

[aseaton]

Is there any documentation on the best practices for designing permissions?

Thanks,

You can do a search on the Community, I have some Blog posts.

I think if you go to support.ptc.com you will find some articles as well.

Hi Pai,

This is how i would like to design the permissions for my system:

I see that Organizations are to be used when designing Visibility permissions - although i don't see clearly yet the impact of these.

I would like to create Users ​and then add these to Groups, ​then i would like to add the Groups ​to units within the ​Organizations​. I understand how all of this can be done.

I then want to use the ​Organization ​to design permissions per projects. I dont want to design for individual entities. I just want to be able to take a group and grant the required permissions for the full contents of a project. is there a quick way i can achieve this?

Do you have any thoughts on this approach?

Andy

I have found my answers here: Project visibility/design/runtime permission inheritance

Great, if you don't need Visibility, you don't need organizations, unless you want to use the FormLogin
