Configuring Metamodel Access
With the Metamodel Access option (Options > Repository menu) , you can restrict the view of HOPEX objects or functions according to user skill level.
This option can be defined at environment, profile or user level according to the requirement.
Metamodel access levels are:
• Beginner
For introduction to HOPEX. Only basic objects are visible. This level allows very simple modeling.
• Intermediate (default value)
For standard use of HOPEX. Almost all object types, links and non-technical attributes are visible.
• Advanced
For advanced use of HOPEX. All objects, links and non-technical attributes are visible, including those that require advanced skills for their use. Only object types and attributes which are present only for compatibility with previous versions are filtered. Certain technical object types are visible. The user can carry out simple customizations of the HOPEX platform.
For example, this level enables access to:
• certain navigation windows, with a restricted view of objects (MetaStudio, Utilities)
• the Administration navigation window, which gives access to reading and writing access areas.
• Expert
This level displays all object types, links, and attributes, as well as the abstract metamodel. All HOPEX platform customizations are available.
Specify this access level only for a highly expert user or a particular profile (e.g.: HOPEX Customizer).
This is the level for example that offers:
• all functions of HOPEX Power Studio (MetaStudio navigation window)
• report template creation (Utilities navigation window)
• certain advanced commands (e.g.: update logfile export at particular intervals).
