Manage Profiles

Manage Profiles

As a Mart Administrator, you can assign a user to a profile to control the actions that the user can perform on an object. You can assign a user to multiple profiles and give the user a greater control over objects. Assign at least one profile to each user. However, you do not need to assign all users to a profile immediately after creating the Mart. When you install Mart, Admin, Architect, Modeler, and Viewer profiles are created.

Follow these steps:

1. Open CA ERwin Mart Administrator.
2. To add a profile, follow these steps:
   1. Click Add Profile and enter a name for the profile.
   2. Enter a description for the profile.
   3. Expand the items in the Permission Details section and select the permissions you want to assign.

      Any dependent permissions for the selected permissions are selected too. For example, if you select the Create Entity permission, then Model Modify, ER Diagram Modify, ER Diagram Modify under Subject Area, and Key Group Create permissions are also selected.

   4. Click Submit.

      The profile is saved.

3. To create a profile from an existing profile, follow these steps:
   1. Enter a name for the profile.
   2. Select Clone from existing profile and select a profile to clone.
   3. Click Submit.
   4. Expand the items in the Permission Details section and select the permissions you want to assign.

      Any dependent permissions for the selected permissions are selected too. For example, if you select the Create Entity permission, then Model Modify, ER Diagram Modify, ER Diagram Modify under Subject Area, and Key Group Create permissions are also selected.

   5. Click Submit.

      The profile is saved.

4. To edit a profile, select the profile and change the name, description, or permissions on the desired objects, and then click Submit.

   If the objects are part of a model, the changed permissions come to effect when the user opens the model the next time. If the objects are part of the Mart, such as catalog, the changed permissions are effective immediately.

5. To delete profiles, select all the profiles that you want to delete and click Delete Profile.

   You cannot delete built-in profiles.
