We would like to configure DNG such that only one attribute AttribA on a certain artifact type ArtifactX can be edited by certain users.
I thought this could be achieved by defining a certain role for those users and then using the Permissions feature to assign edit access to only that one attribute on that artifact.
But closer exploration seems to reveal that permissions are only definable down to the level of the artifact as a whole rather than specific attributes on specific artifacts.
DOORS Classic had the access controls definable down to the more granular attribute level I think.
Is this not possible in DNG then or have I overlooked a way of doing it?

Hello
I am not 100% positive but I think for permissions to be more granular without workflows I think you needed to have explored team areas as described in this topic: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.rational.rrm.help.doc/topics/c_permissions.html
There is a table near the top called Permission classes. The team configuration class of permissions includes this 'Modify artifacts by attribute'.

Thanks Rosa.
I did a bit more experimentation with teams and you are right, using teams also unlocks the granular access controls.
It still seems strange that they are not available unless either teams or workflows is enabled but, anyway, that seems to solve the problem as teams is a better solution than workflows.

It is OK I think I just discovered by further experimentation that by applying a workflow this then gives access to a much more granular access control schema where specific attributes can be controlled for specific roles during specific workflow states.
It seems odd that you have to apply a workflow in order to unlock this dimension of the permissions schema.
