Working in the Engineering Data Editor is subject to access rights given to a user. All access rights are set in the Administration module. There are two levels of access rights:

Access rights to a specific module

If a user has no access rights to edit data in a module, this user cannot edit the data in the relevant EDE View.

Access rights to the Engineering Data Editor

These rights provide privileges to users as follows:

Full

Ability to generate EDE Views, duplicate and modify EDE views and Explorer Layout.

Modify

Ability to edit or duplicate an EDE view and View type, but not delete.

View only

Open and view an EDE view. Create a private EDE view.

Access denied

All the Engineering Data Editor actions are disabled and access to the EDE is denied.

Due to limitations within the software there are certain circumstances when the EDE access rights do not act as expected, these are listed below:

If you have multiple plants in a domain and at least one of those plants access rights are set to View only, but the plants units are set to Full Access then when you login to the plant the following happens:

  • After login to a plant with restricted access rights the New, Duplicate, and Delete functionality within the EDE are disabled across all plants.

  • After login to a plant with full access rights then the New, Duplicate, and Delete functionality within the EDE, function according to the plant access rights of the EDE items. If the selected item is in a plant with full access then the functionality is available. If the selected item is from a plant with restricted access then the functionality is not available.

If one of the units of a plant is View only, but at the plant level access rights are set to Full then the following happens:

  • Login to view only unit of the plant that has full access rights, then the New, Duplicate, and Delete functionality within the EDE are disabled across all plants.

  • Login to the same plant but to a unit that has full access rights instead of the unit with restricted rights, then the New, Duplicate, and Delete functionality within the EDE are enabled for items that are located in units that have full access.

  • Login to a different plant that has full access rights, then the New, Duplicate, and Delete functionality within the EDE are enabled for items that are located in units that have full access across all the plants.

  • Access rights are defined in the Administration Module, if you do not have access rights (Access Denied) for a specific module or activity, for example; Calculation, Hook-Ups, or Wiring, you cannot view its data from a query, preview a query and see the data, or open an EDE from the EDE Explorer and view its data.

  • When opening an EDE view for the first time based on a predefined shipped browser (without a predefined sort), the EDE displays the columns and data in a different order than that of the browser. There is no change in the data.

  • EDE Views in the Private View Type folder in the EDE Explorer have full access rights independent of the access rights applied in the Administration module.
