You use this program to manage the access level for engineering users to the various engineering statuses within a workflow.
Against each engineering user you can specify the authorities applicable to that user within the workflow (i.e. which engineering status the user can access). An engineering user that does not have access to a status can move an ECO to that status manually.
Alternatively, against each engineering status in the workflow you can specify the engineering users who must be allowed the authority to access that status. You can prevent users from creating engineering change orders by denying them the authority to access the initial engineering change order status.
You access the ECC Status Authorities program by selecting the Authorities option from the Edit menu of the Browse on Users program or the Browse on Status Codes program.
This screen is displayed when you select the Authorities option from the Edit menu of the Browse on Users program.
The ECC Status Authorities program is automatically displayed when you add a new ECC user if you selected the Preference: Take on authorities when adding user (Browse on Users).
The options enable you to specify the authorities applicable to a user within the workflow (i.e. which engineering status the user can access).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Access | |
| Allow access to all | Select this to allow the engineering user currently highlighted in the Browse on Users listview has access to all the statuses currently displayed. |
| Deny access to all | Select this to deny the engineering user currently highlighted in the Browse on Users listview is denied access to all the statuses currently displayed. |
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | The status currently defined within the ECC system are displayed in this column. ECC statuses are defined using the Browse on Status Codes program. |
| Allow Access |
Indicate whether or not the engineering user currently highlighted in the Browse on Users listview has access to the status. Select this column to indicate that the engineering user has authority to access the corresponding status. Deselect this column if the engineering user has no authority to access the corresponding status. |
This screen is displayed when you select the Authorities option from the Edit menu of the Browse on Status Codes program.
It is automatically displayed when you add a new ECC status code if you selected the Preference: Take on authorities when adding statuses (Browse on Status Codes).
The options enable you to specify the users who have the authority to access a status.
