Manage Groups
Please refer to the responsibilities and capabilities assignment model for an explanation of how users relate to role assignment.
Each user of the system is assigned one or more groups. Each group assigned to a user controls security roles assigned ( Viewer / Editor / Manager ). Security roles are then associated with the types of permissions one has to an object in TDC .
The basic configuration of TDC has two groups defined, which may not be removed:
• Administrators – Users assigned this group are given all roles.
• Everyone – All users, as a way to assign blanket responsibilities.
The Administrators group is created by default as part of a new installation and has the Global Administrator global role and Object Administrator object role assignments to the repository root.
The Administrators group is created on migration of older repository and has the Global Administrator global role and Object Administrator object role assignments everywhere the predefined Administrators group was used before in the repository.
A user assigned to the Administrators group may create any number of groups with different user interface assignments and responsibility assignments.
All responsibility assignments are available to both users and user groups.
There are two types of roles in TDC :
• A global role applies to all repository objects.
• An object role typically applies to a particular repository object (e.g., folder, glossary, model, etc.) and responsibility assignments are scoped to that object and its contents.
All security role assignments are additive and inherit down through the folder structure .
