Nexus message

This documentation page references Altium NEXUS/NEXUS Client (part of the deployed NEXUS solution), which has been discontinued. All your PCB design, data management and collaboration needs can now be delivered by Altium Designer and a connected Altium 365 Workspace. Check out the FAQs page for more information.

 

Parent page: Working with a Managed Content Server

The server used to store your managed content facilitates the definition and management of global server operation permissions. Accessible by Server Administrators only, permissions across the spectrum of day-to-day global-level server operations can be set up for all server users in the one convenient location. So while Administrators continue to enjoy full permissions for all types of operation, they can now quickly configure permissions for collaborators, owners, specific roles, and specific users.

This feature relates to global-level server operations only. It complements, but does not control access permissions at the folder, Item, and Item Revision levels. For more information on these areas of permissions, see Controlling Access to Server Content.

Access

Permissions are defined and managed from within Altium NEXUS, using the Edit Operation Permissions dialog. Access to this dialog is made from the Data Management - Servers page of the Preferences dialog. For the active server whose permissions you wish to browse/modify, click the Properties control at the right-hand side, and choose the Operations command from the associated menu.

The Operations command is also available from the server listing's right-click Properties menu.

Setup global operating permissions for your managed content server through the Edit Operation Permissions dialog - accessed as part of your Altium NEXUS preferences.Setup global operating permissions for your managed content server through the Edit Operation Permissions dialog - accessed as part of your Altium NEXUS preferences.

Default Settings

Permissions for server operations can be assigned to the following entities (where applicable):

  •   Administrators (itself a defined role).
  •   Collaborator (this is a user who has edit rights for an Item/Revision).
  •   Owner (for released data, this is the person who created the initial Item).
  •   Specific user-defined Role.
  •   Specific User.

Management of users, as well as defined Roles (groupings of users), is performed using the server's browser-based interface. This can be done from an external browser. For detailed information, see Managing Users.

The following are the default permission settings for the various server operations:

Managing Operational Permissions

To add a new entity (assign permissions) for a particular server operation:

  1. Select the operation, in the left-hand region of the dialog.
  2. Click the Add button, and choose the required entity from the associated menu.
When adding a specific user (Add User) or role (Add Role), use the relevant dialog - Search for Users, or Search for Role - to search for the required entity from all those currently defined for the server. A user will be listed in terms of their UserName and Email (if defined). If the user added is actually you (by virtue of being signed into the server), the suffix '- You' will be added.

To remove an entity (remove permissions) for a particular server operation:

  1. Select the operation, in the left-hand region of the dialog.
  2. Select the entity, in the right-hand region of the dialog.
  3. Click the Remove button.
The Administrators role cannot be removed from any operation - Administrators always have full access rights and permissions.
Add and Remove controls can also be found on the right-click context menus for both regions of the dialog.

Note that while permission lists are dynamically updated as you add and/or remove entities, changes made will not take effect until the Apply or OK buttons are clicked. If you click Cancel, all changes made since entering the dialog will be lost.
