Privilege Rules Scenario

This topic provides an example of how you may set up privileges for creating, updating, and deleting projects.

For a description of the privilege rules, see Privilege Rules.

Scenario

In this scenario, Bill is the Administrator, a member of the ADMIN group. The ADMIN group has the Manage Privileges privilege explicitly assigned. This enables Bill to assign privileges to other users:

1. Bill logs in to the Administration Console and selects Users and Roles | Privilege Assignments.

2. He selects Product Level Privileges | Project/Stream | Create Project.

3. Bill sets the privilege rules:

n User has any role on the initial lifecycle state transition.

n Explicit Grant/Deny Rules: ADMIN.

n User has one of the following roles on the product: TEAM LEADER.

4. Bill then selects the privileges Delete Project and Update, and sets the same privilege rules for those privileges.

5. Ted, the Team Lead, has the role of TEAM LEADER for the QLARIUS product. Ted logs in to the desktop client and creates a new project PROJA.

6. Some months later, development work in PROJA is complete, and it is no longer needed. Ted, however, has left the company.

7. Bill deletes the project PROJA, as the privilege to do this is specifically assigned to the ADMIN group.
