Access Control
ECLASS Extension Control - Overview
Access control functionality allows users having the role Structure Element (SE) Editor assigned to:
· Set restrictions regarding visibility of SEs for certain groups/group members/system · Set restrictions regarding selectability (editability) of SEs for certain groups/group members/system · Define ownership (i.e. Owner Groups) of SEs.
Restrictions may be applied to all types of SEs. Restrictions are inherited downwards though all the Classification Class (CC) levels up to the Application Class (AC). Restrictions are NOT inherited below the AC.
If a certain element used in a segment (SG) (e.g. a property) is shared by other SGs, the restriction will apply in all the SGs for that element. This means that the restriction is set for the element itself, not for the usage.
The following information is displayed to the Structure Element Editor:
· Owner Group (if set) · Groups to which restriction applies · Group Chairman of restricted group with name and e-mail address · All members of the owner group with specification Active

NOTE:
1. Only users selected as active within the owner group will be notified when their group is impacted by a change. 2. Active/Passive settings are NOT propagated to the sub-elements.
Step 3.3: Select desired advanced options
· Inherit ownergroup to all children up to the values if not already set (default setting) – by choosing this option it means that only the children SEs having NO owner group set will be assigned the new owner group. The other children already having an owner group set will not be affected.
· Force change ownership up to the values even if set – by choosing this option it means that all children SEs will be assigned the new owner group, regardless if they already have another one set. These other owner groups will be overwritten by the new one.
· If no advanced option is set, the owner group is set only locally to the selected structure element
