Dialog for ‘Permissions for […]
In every project, there are files that certain users should not be able to see, change or delete. In objectiF RM, you can configure access rights for packages, queries, and views within organizations and projects. By defining access rights, you determine which users can view, edit, create, delete or change the states of elements as well as their child elements.
Open the dialog:
- Within an organization by selecting the command Organization/ Edit Permissions in the Backstage menu
- Within a project by selecting the command Project/ Edit Permissions in the Backstage menu
- Through the context menu of a package, view, query, or directory with the command Edit permissions
The Dialog
Name The name of the element being configured is displayed here.
In organizations, you can define authorizations for all users or organizational users. With projects, permissions can only be defined for individuals.
‘Permissions’ tab
Group or user names By default, this section is empty. Click on the green Plus button to select for whom the configurations will apply.
Permissions After selecting a user in the Group/User names section, select the checkboxes below to assign them those permissions.
Groups Access rights assigned to groups apply to all users assigned to that group. If a user is part of several groups, they receive the most permissions.
For example: Armin Müller is in the group “Team” and “Administrator”. The group “Team” only has reading rights. The group “Administrator”, however, have been assigned all access rights. Armin Müller, as a project administrator, therefore has all access rights, despite being part of the “Team” group.

| All | The user has unrestricted rights and can see, edit, delete, create or change the status of elements accordingly. |

‘File size’ tab (Version 7.1 and later)
Permissions For projects and organizations, the option Apply from parent element is not available. The drop-down menu offers the following options:
- Apply from parent element This applies the same access settings from the parent element to its subordinate element. This means that when dealing with an individual project element, it would derive its settings from the package it belongs to. Likewise, when dealing with a package, the settings from the project itself would be applied to it.
In the section for Maximum File Size, you can see the file size limit for the parent element. - Unlimited This option means that files of all sizes are allowed. The field for Maximum File Size will be hidden if this option is selected.
- Limited With this option, you enter a maximum file size. Any files larger than the value entered will not be accepted.
Maximum File Size Depending on what permissions have been assigned to users, in this field you can view and edit the maximum file size.
