Question

I have all users and data migrated from Intralink 3.4 to
Windchill\Intralink 10.0



Can someone help by confirming the basic sequence of steps for now
getting the users the access to the content? I have been looking through
the PTC University "User and Policy Administration" class but it is
somewhat vague on the actual steps



Thanks in advance,

I remember reading and re-reading how all this stuff works, then feeling really dumb because I didn’t understanding, then repeating (lots of times). Lots of documentation but not at all clear in my opinion. Written very much for Java programmers, not for someone who is a CAD guru who gets thrust into a Windchill admin role.

But – It’s essential to really understand this area for effective planning and admin of the system. And – it helps a lot for understanding to actually build good Flux Capacitors in your spare time. ☺

Each statement in the Policy Admin, Access Control is an “ACL.” In general, use the Manage Security UI from an object (e.g. a Document) to confirm the actual permissions applied to a specific object at a specific state – to a group or role or specific user.

I agree that the documentation could be improved, and we work to make it better with each update.


Several of you have indicated that you are new Windchill administrators; if you consult the documentation I've called out in this thread, I'd really appreciate your feedback. Was it helpful? Which of your questions were not answered? What would improve the doc, based on your experience. Please feel free to contact me directly; if it would be more efficient for you, I'm happy to set up a phone meeting.


Thanks,


Jane

Hi Jane,

Would it be possible to re-post the docs or links to them?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi, Ben,


I'd be glad to:


The Windchill administrator documentation provides procedural information for assigning access permissions to users;the topics included in Ensuring Data Security in the Windchill 10.0 M030 Help Center explain how to set access permissions for users and for specific objects. If you'd prefer to review the PDF version of information about access control policies and security labels, you can find it in the Windchill Specialized Administration Guide.


Regards,


Jane
