Permissions to parts of the repository - default settings

The EA Information Portal supports a package-level permission system (repository browser tree branches) for both read and (as of version 7.5) write permissions.

It is therefore possible to restrict the reading of parts of the model to certain groups or users. This functionality is not available in Enterprise Architect itself.

It is therefore possible to restrict access of certain users to (for example) specific projects, sensitive processes, risk analyses, strategic business models, etc.

This feature fundamentally supports the effort to have all models in one repository.

If there is no default setting, i.e. the setting is taken from the parent root package, then the repository is not visible by default, or reading is not allowed. 

Permissions can be set for groups and users.

Permissions are applied hierarchically from the package they are set on downwards.

EA Infoport allows by default to disable/enable access of users or groups to various packages using the following button:

In the event that the default settings are not sufficient for us and it is necessary to specify the range of other users in more detail, it is possible to specify the roles in more detail and set access directly on the user or group.

An overview of the roles is shown in the table below:
