Associating Objects to a Project
A general user can associate objects with a specific project(s).
After selecting an object, you can associate it to a specific project(s).
- If the project is restricted, and you also select to secure the object by the project, the authorizations to access this object and to perform operations on it will be determined by the project-based authorization rules and by your role in the project, as assigned by the Project Manager.
- If the project is not restricted, the authorization is a combination of the project security and class security.
To associate an object to a project(s):
- Select an object.
- From the Edit menu, select
.
The Object Secured by window appears.
- Select the check box(es) next to the desired project(s):
- Select the Propagate check box to associate the children of the selected objects with the project as well.
Note: When a new revision life cycle operation is performed on an object associated with a project, and the new object is given the same security as the existing object.
Note: All your Common File Objects must behave identically, Therefore, if you associate a CFO with a project, you must associate all the other CFOs with this project.
Note: The first "Secured by Project" operation can be done by any user that has a role in the target Project.
If an object is already secured by a project, removing or adding projects by which the object is secured, can be done only by a user who has "Share secured by" permission. This permission can be assigned by the System Administrator using the User Maintenance Utility.
