ProHelp® EPM - How is security provided to areas of ProHelp® EPM....


The information in this FAQ applies to the following:


ProHelp® EPM, Release 6.0.0, and Release 5.2.2 and earlier, rely heavily on the user/group security that is built into Windows NT to limit access to areas of the ProHelp® EPM software.

The files in the C:\Program Files\Mattec\ProHelp\Sys\Security directory are used to control access to different areas of the ProHelp® EPM software. For example, the file Part IDs controls access to the Part ID Edit Facility. If a user has READ+EXECUTE access to this file, the user will have Read-only access to the Part ID Edit Facility. If a user has CREATE access to this file, the user will have Edit access to the Part ID Edit Facility.

When ProHelp® EPM is installed, a number of Windows 2000 or Windows NT groups are created. These groups can be local groups or domain groups, as selected during the installation of the server software. These groups are given access to the ProHelp® EPM security files as appropriate. Your system administrator may then assign Windows 2000 or Windows NT users (local or domain) into these groups, as appropriate, to provide or deny access to areas of the software.

The following table shows the ProHelp® EPM security file and the Windows 2000 or Windows NT group that is given CREATE (edit) or READ+EXECUTE (read-only) access to this file. Any Windows 2000 or Windows NT user who is then assigned to that group will have the appropriate access to the corresponding area of the ProHelp® EPM software.

    Your system administrator may modify the access that is given to the Windows 2000 or Windows NT groups that the installation creates (those groups that start with the word "MATTEC").

    For additional information, reference the Windows 2000 or Windows NT documentation that came with your ProHelp® EPM system.
