Establish Access Rights for Serials
Explanation
This activity is used to spread access rights to the serials. There are two steps in this activity.
You can spread access to all the parts and their alternates on all the levels for a template part, by using the
Spread Access Rights To Parts and Serials dialog. When you select a template and give access to a selected
access group, the access is spread to all the serials of the child parts, alternates, and disconnected serials on
all the levels.
In the Spread Access Rights To Serials dialog, you can select any top serial, and grant or revoke the
access it has received. Therefore, before you use this dialog, the serials must have received access groups from
the template level, which is done in the Spread Access Rights To Parts And Serials dialog.
The access groups are used to control access to the serials and to the maintenance programs.
Step 01:
To spread access rights to the parts and serials;
- Open one of the following pages, and search for the part number for which you want to spread access
rights.
- Template Parts
- Template Part
- Manage Template Structure
- And then select the option Spread Access Rights To Parts And Serials to open the Spread Access
Rights to Parts and Serials dialog. The fields in the Spread Access for Template Part section will
automatically receive the values from the template part number, for which you selected the dialog.
To grant access rights to parts and serials;
- Select Grant, from the Select Access Group area section and select the access group
for which you want to grant access rights from the Access Group ID drop-down. Select the Grant access
to not installed serials? option, if you want disconnected serials (i.e., serials currently not installed in
a structure) for the part numbers that are assigned to the template structure, to automatically receive the new
access group.
- By default, the Implement For option will be enabled for all the serials belonging to the template
part. If you do not want to give access to a serial, you can disable the Implement For option.
- Click Apply to carry out the operation without closing the Spread Access Rights To Parts And
Serials dialog. You can use this step when you want to grant access rights to more than one access
group.
To revoke access rights to parts and serials;
- Select Revoke, in the Select Access Group area section and select the
access group for which you want to revoke access rights from the Access Group ID drop-down. By default,
the Implement For option will be enabled for all the serials belonging to the template part. If you do not
want to give access to a serial, you can disable the Implement For option.
- If you want to run the revoke as a background job, enable the Do you want to run the revoke in batch?
option.
- Click Apply to carry out the operation without closing the Spread Access Rights To Parts And
Serials dialog. You can use this step when you want to revoke access rights to more than one access
group.
Step 02:
To spread access rights for serials of a selected top serial;
- Open the Manage Serial Structure page or the Serial
Structures page and search for the serial for which you want to spread access rights. Then, select
the option Spread Access Rights To Serial to open the Spread Access Rights To Serials dialog.
- In the Access Group ID field, the access groups for the selected serial will appear. You can either
grant or revoke access to these access groups by enabling the respective option.
