Depending on your environment, the BORROWER field is set to your user ID or library, and the
LIBRARY field is set to the local rules library indicated on your workbench. If you are a developer, both of these screen fields are protected and cannot be changed. If you are using the
ADMIN_RIGHTS system administrator tool, you can change either or both fields.
To administer promotion rights on behalf of another user, enter the appropriate user ID and library name in the
BORROWER field. All subsequent promotion rights management after this change are for that borrower. In the case of rules, promotion rights are attributed to the library that you specify.
This field identifies the current rights mode for managing object rights. Its initial value is obtained from the entry made in the
RESTRICT_RIGHTS field of the @PROM_CONSTANTS table by the promotion administrator. The possible entries in this field are S (non-restrictive), G (group-restrictive), or U (user-restrictive).
As a borrower, there could be long lists of objects with promotion rights available to you. You can specify selection criteria and thus show only the promotion rights for objects that match the criteria. The criteria you specify are in effect for each object type that you select in the lower part of the screen.
The Manage Promotion Rights Utility screen contains three fields that provide a rights-based filter. This filter affects the display of the object types you select from the bottom of the screen.
TIBCO Object Service Broker can be made to automatically transfer rights to a given user, if you operate under group rights and have
Show other rights turned on. Someone who is a member of more than one group—say A and B—and currently operating in library A can select for promotion an object that belongs to group B. Because the requestor is also a member of group B, TIBCO Object Service Broker transfers the rights from Group B to the current library name. This can also be used to release rights and transfer them to others.
The Type of rights field plays a pivotal role when converting from one type of rights to another. In fact, the only time that this field’s default setting is ever altered is when you are changing how your system restricts rights and what it restricts.
