Privileges are assigned to, for example, Designer, User, Administrator. Then roles and user groups are linked. For more information about how users, user groups, roles and privileges are connected, see pages in the PhixFlow User Administration topic.

The toolbar has the standard iconsFor information about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties.  For information about other property tabs, see Property Tabs.

Privileges apply to modelling objects, application components and administration items, such as users. Privileges have the following types:

  • View: you can see the item throughout PhixFlow

  • List: you can see the item in the repository browser. You must also have the view privilege.

  • Create: you can create a new item.

  • Modify: you can change an existing item

  • Delete: you can delete an item.
