Creating Privileges

You can add Privileges to your Organization Model.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer, expand the folder for your Organization Model.
  2. You can either:
    • Right-click the Privileges folder and select Add Child > New Privilege. A new Privilege is created.
    • Right-click a Category and select Add Child > New Privilege. A new Privilege is created.
  3. Right-click the Privilege you just created and select Rename.
  4. Type the label of the Privilege you wish to create. The Name field is automatically filled with the same text as the Label, but without any internal spaces.
  5. If the Properties View is not already displayed, right-click the Privilege you just created and select Show Properties View. The Properties View is displayed.
  6. Click the General tab.
  7. You can specify a type for your privilege by doing the following:
    1. Select the Has qualifier checkbox. The Show qualifier ... option is displayed.
    2. Click the Show qualifier ... option. The Qualifier tab is displayed.
    3. Click the Qualifier tab. In the Type field, select an available type from the drop-down list.
    4. If required, specify a default value for the qualifier. See Capabilities and Privileges for more information on the types you can specify.
      Note: Organization model deployments to the same major version are always additive.

      This means that changes in the qualifier value of privileges will reflect every previous value you set. So if you set the qualifier for Position ’Tester’ with Privilege ’All’ to 10 and deploy the organization model, and then change the qualifier to 11 and redeploy it (as a different minor version) , Position 'Tester' now has two assignments of privilege 'All'; one with a qualifier of 10, and with a qualifier of 11.

  8. In the Purpose field on the General tab, and on the Description tab, you can enter some text to describe the purpose of the Privilege and/or any supporting explanations, depending on your requirements.
