Access control is handled inside the data model through setting up specific
annotations. The following example introduces how to define access control at the
element level.
Before you begin
-
You have created the data model DStar which holds an entity Agent.
-
You have added elements to the Agent entity.
-
You have created a new custom role called General_Manager.
About this task
In this example, you want to grant the role General_Manager a write access only to the CommissionCode element in the Agent entity.
Procedure
-
In the Data Model Entities area, click
the element CommissionCode in the
Agent entity.
-
From the Properties view, select the
Access rights tab.
-
Click the down arrow to show the list of roles defined in the
Studio.
-
Select the role you want to grant the write access and then click the
[+] button to add the role to the
Roles list.
Note:
For a foreign key element with the Maximum
Occurrence value set to a number greater than
1 or set to -1 (which
means its maximum number of occurrences is not bounded), you can grant
each role the add access and the remove access separately, and the
dialog box will look like below.
A role with the write access to an element allows you to
add and remove the value of that element through Talend MDM Web UI. A role with only
the add or remove access to a foreign key element allows you to only add
or remove the value of that foreign key element through Talend MDM Web UI.
By default, the Set role recursively check box is
selected. This will propagate the security setting to all subelements of the
selected node.
