Managing Access Control for SIMULIA Execution Engine Users

You can use the Dashboard to define and manage user access controls.

Before you begin: To perform these operations, you must have the fiperadmin security role or you must have been added to the system administrator list. For information on how to add additional users as system administrators, see Managing Access Control – System Administration.

  1. Open the Dashboard dialog box as described in Starting the Dashboard.

  2. Click the Access Control tab.

  3. Use the buttons on the Access Control tab to define access information. You can add, remove, rearrange, or clear the information on a specific subtab or on all the subtabs.

    These controls are applied to each specified user for all objects that are access-controlled, as opposed to published object and job controls, which are applied to each specified user for each controlled object individually.

    The purpose of each subtab follows from the procedure for calculating the permission assigned to a given user on a given controlled object. You should order the access control assignments as follows:

    1. Assignments to user U in the System Administration list, if any

    2. Assignments to user U in the System Override list, if any

    3. Assignments to user U in the list for object X, if any

    4. The default assignment for all users for object X, if any

    5. Assignments to user U in the System Default list, if any

    6. The default assignment for all users in the System Default list

    Note: If there is more than one assignment to user U in any list, the one closest to the top of the list is used; this can occur implicitly when Groups are defined.

    The access control for user U on object X is whichever assignment can be found closest to the top of this ordering.

    Important: User names are case-sensitive.
