There are two departments (engineering and operations) and engineering departement is responsible for creating the eBOM. The windchill part will be released and given a specific state.
The operations side of the company then needs to create a downstream branch in order to split up the eBOM and make an mBOM.
It looks like that in order to be able to create downbstream branches, the user needs to have 'Modify'-rights on the upstream WT-part, but I don't want everyone who must be able to create downstream branches (operations department) to be allowed to modify the upstream parts (responsibility of the engineering department).
Am I overlooking some settings or is this just default behaviour and should I tell operations to be carefull with upstream 'design' parts?

Some work arounds might be to use different states in those downstream views. Other options is customization to hide the checkout action on downstream views if the user is not in a special group.
