Enhanced User Security in Enterprise Architect 16
- User Security in Enterprise Architect is a method of restricting the use of data update functions across the model via access rights for each function, as well as safeguarding individual parts and diagrams from modification using user locks.
- The primary goal is to avoid unintended data alterations and to prohibit access to sensitive information.
What’s new in Sparx Enterprise Architect 16
- Sparx Enterprise Architect 16 enhances the model governance by making it much more secure to safeguard your model/project.
- From Release 16.0 onwards, in the Corporate, Unified, and Ultimate Editions, if security is enabled, access restrictions can be applied to specific users and groups, to prevent certain actions.
- Prevents data loss in the model/project at the user level on top of the model security authorization and also prevents the unwanted destruction of model data.
- User limitations prevent a user from completing certain tasks, independent of their other user and group security rights.
- Restrictions can be applied for deleting packages, diagrams, elements, connectors, attributes, and operations.
- They may also be used to limit XMI Import, restore from a Baseline, and remove a Baseline. Basically, anything that could result in 'data loss'.
- These restrictions are aimed at preventing the inadvertent deletion of model content.
