Secure Access to Manufacturer Parts

Use the Security tab on the manufacturers and the manufacturer parts to secure access to manufacturer parts. You can add the users and roles (groups) who should have access to manufacturer parts.

Note:

• This is available only if you’ve opted in for the feature: Upgrade Manufacturer Management.
• If you opt in to Upgrade Manufacturer Management and use granular privileges, you can access the Security tab only if your role has these policies assigned to it:
  • EGP_TRADING_PARTNER_ITEMS
  • EGP_PRIVATE_TRADING_PARTNERS

Secure Access to All Manufacturer Parts Created for a Manufacturer

Here's how you secure access to all the manufacturer parts created for the manufacturer.

1. Click the Security tab on the manufacturer.
2. Deselect the Public check box.
3. Click Create to configure a person or a group to access manufacturer parts.
4. Select whether you want to grant access to a person or a group, and select the name of the person or the group.

5. Select the privileges you want to provide:

   • View: allow users to view the manufacturer part.
   • Maintain: allow users to edit the manufacturer part.
   • Administer: allow creating new manufacturer parts for the manufacturer.

   To allow more persons or groups to access manufacturer parts, repeat the previous steps.

6. Save your changes.

   The security is inherited by all manufacturer parts created from the manufacturer.

Note: To revoke access to a person or group, select the person or group and click the Delete button.

Secure Access to Individual Manufacturer Parts

Prerequisite: You must enable security on the trading partner item using Manage Trading Partner Items > Edit Trading Partner, in the Product Information Management work area. This will allow you to view the Security tab on the manufacturer part (in the Product Development work area).

Here's how you secure access to an individual manufacturer part.

1. Click the Security tab on the manufacturer part.
2. Click Create.
3. Select whether you want to grant access to a person or a group, and select the name of the person or the group.
4. Select the privilege you want to provide:
   • View: allow users to view the manufacturer part.
   • Maintain: allow users to edit the manufacturer part.
   Note:

   • A check box appears in the Inherited column if the grant is inherited from the manufacturer.
   • The Security tab isn't displayed on the supplier portal.

Additional Considerations

• The Security tab on the manufacturer page shows updates made to the Public setting and data grants on the trading partner in the Product Information Management work area. Likewise, such updates to the manufacturer made in Product Development are replicated on the trading partner page in the Product Information Management work area.
• Manufacturer parts inherit the grants added to the parent manufacturer, but the security tab isn't displayed on the manufacturer part. Edit the trading partner item to see these inherited grants and add additional singular grants in the Product Information Management work area. These individual grants apply to the manufacturer part and item AML.
