Enables you to move all the objects from user-selected permission groups at a workshare location to mapped permission groups at the host location. The utility is delivered as a stand-alone executable file (MoveObjectsBetweenPGs.exe) in the [Product Folder]:\ProjectMgmt\Tools\bin folder.

Using the utility provides for better management of permission groups in a Global Workshare environment after work related to a specific workshare site is completed. The following is an example workflow:

  1. An owner gives a contract for a project to an Engineering Procurement Contractor (EPC A).

  2. EPC A sets up a workshare configuration for the project.

  3. EPC A finishes the project and hands it back to the owner.

  4. The owner consolidates the databases.

  5. The owner gives a contract for a different project to another EPC (EPC B). To prevent EPC B from seeing the permission groups created by EPC A, the owner runs Move Objects Between Permission Groups to move the objects from the workshare permission groups to the host permission groups.

  • Only run Move Objects Between Permission Groups on a consolidated model. Running the utility in an active workshare configuration results in errors.

  • The Move Objects Between Permission Groups grid displays a list of all the permission groups at the host. Because the software reassigns every permission group from the consolidated database to the host location, there is no way to know which permission group initially belonged to the workshare location and has been subsequently reassigned to the host. We recommend that you identify the permission groups to move from and to before consolidating the databases. Post-consolidation, the Created By column might provide a hint as to the original location of the permission group.

Model

Lists the models in the active site. Select the model within which to move objects between permission groups. After you select a model, the software populates the grid with all its permission groups.

Delete source permission group after transfer

Deletes the selected source permission group after a successful transfer. By default, this check box is not selected.

Source Permission Group

Indicates the permission group from which the objects are moved.

Created By

Specifies who created the permission group.

Destination Permission Group

Indicates the permission group to which the objects are moved. Select a permission group in the list.

Move

Moves all objects from the selected source permission group to the mapped destination permission group. This option is not available until you select a row in the grid.

Cancel

Closes the utility without moving any permission group objects.
