Granting Privileges

Prerequisites

You have created a client in the DTR, which displays all folders and files including the ClientRoot>/system (that is it shows the top level).
You work in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio perspective Design Time Repository in the Repository Browser view..

Context

You grant privileges to users to control their access rights to resources in the DTR.

Procedure

Open the root directory.
For the node, to which you want to assign privileges, in the context menu choose View Permissions .

The Permissions view appears. The path of the selected node (development configuration, workspace folder, workspace, directory or file) is included in the titlebar.
Specify the desired parameters.
1. In the Permissions view, choose Add Principal from the context menu.
2. Select the principal type:
  
  <User Name>
  
  <Group Name>
  
  ALL
  Note
  
  You need the information below only, if the User Management Engine is configured in such a way that the users are stored in an LDAP system - then these Unique Names may not be able to uniquely identify a user. In this case, you can configure the DTR to always use so-called Unique IDs . Unique IDs are structured as follows:
  - Unique ID for user : UACC.<Data Source ID>.<DN of user in LDAP>
    
    For example: UACC.SAP_CORP.cn=Administrator,ou=People,dc=mycompany)
  - Unique ID for group : UACC.<Data Source ID>.<DN of group in LDAP>
    
    For example: UACC.SAP_CORP.cn=Developer,ou=Groups,dc=mycompany)
    
    The parameters required for the Unique IDs ("Data Source ID" and "DN of user") depend on the UME configuration. See Configuration Parameters .
3. Enter a description.
4. Select the privilege type:
  
  Grant
  
  Deny
5. Select the privileges.
6. In the Permissions view, choose Save Changes to save the changes locally.
7. In the Permissions view, choose Activate all Changes to make the changes effective on the server.
For further changes, choose Edit Principal from the context menu in the Permissions view.
