Grant Access to Model

Grant Access to Model authorizes a user or group to read or update the entire model specified. Users or groups can optionally be granted authority to generate code for the model. If granted update authority, the user or group can also be granted authority to migrate objects to the specified model or merge other models into it.

If granted update access to a model, the user or group also has access to all subsets of the model. If you want to grant access to some subsets but not to the entire model, use the Grant Subset Access function instead.

The following rules govern Grant Access to Model:

• To grant access to a model, you must be an encyclopedia administrator, the model owner, or a member of the group that administers the model.
• A user must exist in the Host Encyclopedia before being granted model access.
• You can grant Read-only authority or Update authority.
• If you grant Read-only authority, you can also grant Codegen authority.
• If you grant Update authority, you can also grant any combination of Migrate To and Codegen authorities.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Main Menu select options 1.1.3 and press Enter.
2. Select option 1 for Grant Access to Model and press Enter.
3. Enter the Host Encyclopedia name of the model to which you want to grant access.
4. Enter the User ID to which you are granting access.
5. At the next panel, select either Read-only or Update by entering any character in the Protection area.

   Note: Any non‑blank value you enter (letter, number, period, and so forth) tells the system you have selected that particular option.

6. On the same line as the selected protection (Read-only or Update), enter any character under any valid activity authorization (for example, Codegen, Migrate To) that you want to grant and press Enter.

   Note: For Read-only the only valid activity is Codegen. For Update, all activities are valid.
