To make entities as either inaccessible or invisible to particular user

How can we make any entity as invisible or inaccessible to any particular custom user at ThingWorx Composer level?

 

Thanks in advance.

Ideally, your user would be the member of a usergroup which in turn would be a member of an Organization or Organization Unit(OU). (Direct User to Organization/OU mapping is also possible but is not recommended)

 

We add visibility of an entity to an Organization or OU. So, make all members who require visibility to the entity in a usergroup and make it member of an OU or Organization. You can then go to permission tab of the entity and add the Organization or OU to the list having visibility to this entity.

You can use Access Reports to check all the permissions for an entity.
