Writing Access Areas
Each user or group of users is connected to a writing access area. It is the person or person group that carries the writing access area.
Each object is connected to a writing access area.
At creation, the object inherits the writing access area of the person who created it.MEGA delivers by default the "Administrator" writing access; this writing access area:
• cannot be deleted.
• is the highest writing access area level; it does not depend on any other writing access area. In principle it should be reserved for repository administration.
• is the writing access area to which "Administrator", "Mega" and "Guests" are connected.
When the writing access diagram has been installed, MEGA recommends that you change the writing access area levels of "Mega" and "Guests". It is not desirable that default users have such extensive rights.
All other writing access areas depend on at least one writing access area.
Writing access areas are interconnected by hierarchical links. This is a strict hierarchy, with no circular dependencies: a writing access area cannot be declared at a higher level than the writing access area on which it depends, either directly or via a succession of dependencies.
A user can modify an object connected to his/her writing access area or to a hierarchically lower writing access area.
The writing access area of an object can be modified by the administrator:
• by specifically changing the object writing access area
• when modifying the writing access area of another object (project, process, diagram, etc.) if the propagation option is enabled.
