Dear Experts ,
We want an assembly to be accessed from specific group of people, where we wanted to restrict a specific sub assembly for the users from reading it.
It is known fact that keeping the "restrictive" objects in seperate folder or a different context should address - But I am looking if there any option to store the complete assembly in a single location.
TOP_LEVEL_ASSEMBLY.asm
|
|__ SUB_ASSEMBLY_1.asm
|
|__ SUB_ASSEMBLY_2.asm
|
|__ SUB_ASSEMBLY_3.asm
Rules to be in place :
1) Restrict SUB_ASSEMBLY_1.asm (and its dependents) to be read.
2) Allow SUB_ASSEMBLY_2.asm (and its dependents) for read only.
3) Allow SUB_ASSEMBLY_3.asm (and its dependents) to be read and write.
Appreciate your support on how to approach this requirement.
Thanks
Murthi
Solved! Go to Solution.
A word of caution on Security Labels.
They are complex to set up and modify many system files to enable them. If you make 1 typo when changing the files, your Windchill system will be dead until you find where the issue is and resolve it.
Not sure this is the best method for a short term project to protect a few files.
Move the files that you want read-only access to to a location that only grants read-only access to the files is the easiest. Windchill will still find all of your filoes when you retreive them.
Restrict a specific sub assembly will cost system performace
Yes, it is for a short term.
And how to restrict it ?
Hi Murthy,
Try using security labels and Agreements.

Thanks for your responses.
Security labels could be a solution, but hard to manage.
The easier way is always to maintain those in different folder [instead different context for our requirement] and maintain them as a different domains in access.
Thanks
