User Rights within the WEM Modeler
Last updated
A WEM user has a specific role within a Workspace or Project. When you create a new Workspace, you automatically become the Owner of that Workspace.
Via button [Manage projects & workspaces] in the Modeler, you can (with the proper rights) manage user roles.
In future, a new WEM Account Management Portal will be launched, which will provide more fine-grained options to assign roles and rights to users.
(Working upwards in the list as displayed above)
Manage workspace
create/copy/delete projects;
edit workspace settings;
manage workspace-level users.
Edit design (master) templates
add design template collections with a share-code.
Edit widgets
create/edit/delete widgets in Widget Editor.
Manage projects
manage all projects in workspace, specifically manage user-rights on project-level.
Configure projects
manage project-level settings (project configuration and security settings);
manage portals within project;
Debug live
*new* specific right to start debugger on the live portals.
Debug staging
*new* specific right to start debugger on the staging portals.
Publish to live
*new* specific right to publish to the live environment.
Publish to staging
*new* specific right to publish to the staging environment.
Edit projects
make changes to project contents, elements, flowcharts, datamodel.
User rights applied on Workspace level, will apply to all projects within the workspace, and will be applied to new projects created in this workspace in the future.
Any specific right is as described: there is no inheritance or implicitness. If you need to be able to publish to both staging and live, you need to have both specific rights. Publish to live does NOT give you the right to publish to staging implicitly.
For users that do not get Workspace-level rights, you can apply Project-only rights, applicable to only that project.
See the single "Project" label with some of the rights, as opposed to the plural "Projects" for the Workspace-level rights.
These Project-level rights can only be applied to users that do not have any Workspace-level rights. Any user either has rights on Workspace and therefore on all contained projects, or has rights on singular projects (and needs to get those specific project-rights assigned to every project).
Manage project
manage this project, specifically manage user-rights on project-level.
Configure project
manage project-level settings (project configuration and security settings);
manage portals within project;
Debug live
*new* specific right to start debugger on the live portals for this project.
Debug staging
*new* specific right to start debugger on the staging portals for this project.
Publish to live
*new* specific right to publish the portals of this project to the live environment.
Publish to staging
*new* specific right to publish the portals of this project to the staging environment.
Edit project
make changes to project contents, elements, flowcharts, datamodel.
