Assigning a Profile to a Person
A person may have several profiles.
A user must have at least one profile assigned to be able to connect to HOPEX.Assigning a profile to a person defines:
• the profile assigned
• the repository concerned by the assignment
• (optional) a validity period of an assignment.
• (optional, with read-only access to the repository) connection repository snapshot
Repository Snapshot:
A repository snapshot defines repository state at a given moment.The connection repository snapshot defines the state of the repository to which the users of a profile connect.
Repository snapshots are available for RDBMS repositories.To define a repository snapshot, a repository snapshot must have been previously created.
Restrictions:
• The Administrator profile attribute of a profile allows to assign an administrator type profile.
Only administration dedicated profiles (HOPEX Administrator, HOPEX Administrator - Production, User Management Web Administrator) allow to assign any profile (including administration dedicated profiles) to persons.
• A Functional Administrator of a Solution can only assign this Solution dedicated profiles.
E.g.: The Application Design Functional Administrator profile allows to assign the Application Design Viewer, the Application Designer, and the UML Designer profiles.
