Team Members granted Set State to WTObject, all states?

I am reviewing access rights and noticed that all my contexts have Team Members granted Set State rights to WTObject for all states. This is wrong on many levels and I am surprised I never noticed this before. Is there some reason for this? I checked the General Product Template and its granted in that template so I assume that PTC defaulted that to be true. 

 

Wouldn't this grant users the ability to change states, like setting something In Work to Released and visa versa? Does your system show this?

Hi @avillanueva

I would check when the template has been changed.

The only time it was ever updated was during upgrade. This was the General Product Template. The system started at Windchill 7 so its old.  I removed the ACL line.

    I have the opposite problem as the original poster. I want my my team members to be granted Set State rights. Can anyone teach me how to give them that?

    As the original poster, I would caution against list. Its good to establish a good change management process, whether you use promotion objects or change objects. Those workflows should handle the setting of states.  It would be ok for a small, counted on one hand, list of people to have that ability but not all team members.

      I understand where you are coming from. Please trust me, though, what I'm after is good for the situation I'm in. Is there anyone that can teach me how to give all Team Members set state privileges?

      If no one is comfortable telling me that, then I will fully explain my situation.
