Access Control

For specific modules, you can update the Access Control information in the destination shell templates from a source shell template.

To do so, you can use the Update Shell Templates toolbar option. After the update is completed successfully, all the selected destination shell templates will have the Access Control information updated.

The modules that do not exist in the destination shell template will get added.

Also, Groups or Users associated with the modules are added. The modules that exist in the destination shell template will have the Access Control information replaced. In this case, new Groups or Users that do not exist in the destination shell template will get added.

To access and work with the Update Shell Templates toolbar option:

Go to the Company Workspace (Admin mode) > Templates > Shells > Projects.
From the Projects Templates log or window, select and open a project.
From the navigation pane, click Access Control to open the Access Control log or window.
From the toolbar, click Update Shell Templates to open the Update Shell Templates window.
From the Update Shell Templates window select as many records (modules, BPs, etc.) as you need, click the Update drop-down list, and select the Shell Templates menu item to open the Select Shell Templates pop-up window.
From the Projects list (Projects - Current View: All), select the projects that you want to update, and click Update.

If any of the selected components exists in the destination shell template, the Access Control information will be replaced in the destination shell template.
If any of the selected components do not exist in the destination shell template, the Access Control information will be added in the destination shell template.

The associated Groups and Users will also be added into the destination shell templates.
