I need a permissions that allow create resources, but not delete models.
I set a permissions (Team Configuration: Editing Management-> Edit a design resource) for a role (Designer), in this way:

Permissions Enabled

This configuration allow Create Resources (I need it create "Component Specification, Folders"), but also allow delete models.

Allow delete models

When I disabled the permission (Editing Management-> Edit a design resource), I can´t delete models, but also create resources ("Component Specification, Folders")
Permission Disabled

can I set permissions, that allow create resources, but not delete models?
The project area is managed for Design Manager for allow the use a custom Domain that contain the resource "Component Specification"

The platform is:
- DM 4.0.1 Final Release
- Windows Server 2003 Standard R2 x64 SP2
- Apache Tomcat
- DB2 9.7

Create, edit, and delete operations for model elements are grouped into the same "Edit a design resource" type of action.  There is no way to allow one but not the other at the moment.  To allow create without edit or delete might be problematic: what if someone made a mistake while creating an element and needs to edit or delete it?

Yes, I am agree, but the action more problematic "delete" can be assigned to other role.
The best option for avoid this problem is replace the actual type of action "Edit a design resource" and the creation of new type of actions:

  • Create Resources
  • Modify Resources
  • Delete Resources
This types of actions are present in other permissions, such as "Comment Management"

Bruce, this is a good suggestion.   I would suggest creating an enhancement workitem for it against the Design Management product.
