The option to update or delete ACL using loadfile

[KimH]

Hi,

I have successfully used the examples in CS57440 to load new policies into Windchill contexts.
But, in some sitiuations it is nessesary to either update or delete existing policies, which is not described in the knowledge base, and according to Tech. support it is not supported by PTC (Case 14193509)

In our company, we are phasing manual edits of policies in approx. 300 contexts, when we need to make changes to policies.

 - This is very very trivial work!
 - This will most likely cause mistakes, since the policy UI is quite complex.

So, please consider to implement the option to update or delete ACL using loadfile.

Regards
Kim

I agree, this is a huge issue to do manually.  Especially when you have many "Projects" and access is controlled at Project level due to private access I cannot add them at org level to apply to all previously created projects.

I Agree. This is absolute necessary. We do track all changes to the system through SVN and we do most of the changes using scripts. This functionality will help us upating the ACLs through scripts

This is necessary. We're now looking into building this as a customization ourselves, quite surprised that this is not part of OOTB functionality.
