How can we restrict a user to a particular stream in DNG?
One answer
This might be achieved using team area's.
For example:
For your ProjectArea1 Copmonent1, you have Stream1 and Stream2, and you want User1 only to be allowed to make modifications to artifacts in Stream2, but NOT in Stream1. In Stream1 the user should only be able to see the artifacts and create reports , but the user should not be allowed to modify anything)
- For ProjectArea1 the admin user creates a team area: TeamAreaX.
- User1 is a member of the general ProjectArea1, with a custom role assigned that does not allow the user to modify anything. The role only allows to generate reports.
- User1 is also member of TeamAreaX, where User1 has the 'Author' role.
-The project admin user opens Stream2 in 'all artifacts' view.
-From the Root folder drop-down, the admin chooses to "Assign Team Ownership" to 'TeamAreaX", with the option to "Use the same project area or team area for all subfolders and artifacts"
This way the User1 has the permissions for all artifacts in all folders of Stream2 as assigned to the Author role.
-But User1 has no permissions to modify any artifacts on Stream1 with the custom role.
