Add a Security Profile

You can control access to objects and to the tasks users can perform. Security is profile-based and you can add a security profile to restrict access to data in CA ERwin Data Modeler by library, model, entity, and subject area.

To add a security profile

  1. Click Mart, Security Manager on the File menu.

    The Security Manager dialog opens.

  2. Click Profile.

    The Security Profile Manager dialog opens.

  3. Click New.

    The Profile Name Editor dialog opens.

  4. Enter the name of the new profile in the Name text box, the profile description in the Description text box, and click OK.

    The Profile Name Editor dialog closes.

  5. Select the object class in the Object Class list and select or clear the check boxes in the Permission list, and click OK.

    By default, new profiles have no permissions. Permissions are granted or denied for each object class in the new profile. Repeat for each object class to which you want to assign permissions.

    The Security Profile Manager dialog closes.

Note: You must be assigned to the Administrator security profile for the mart to add, update, or delete a security profile. While only an administrator can change permissions associated with a profile, anyone can view the permissions.
