There are a few different ways to restrict Model Explorer areas to specific User Groups.
- In the Admin Console of the platform, under Model Explorer, there is a tab for Model Explorer Configuration. These settings dictate actions that a user group is granted in the Model Explorer. As seen below, Registered users can only View model content, those in the Engineering group can add, edit and delete model items, etc. Other tabs restrict access to Scripts, Logs, and Connector management.
A Registered user, under these settings, can see that scripts exist for an instance, but cannot add, edit or delete scripts. Neither can they create gateways, connectors, or do data backfills.
(See the Help documentation for a detailed understanding of User Management)
- A second way to limit access to model instances is more granular. Users in the user group with 'Permissions Access Level', under Components->Model Explorer->Model Explorer in the Admin Console:
will be allowed to edit the field Access Groups when editing an instance in the model:
Click into the field to add User Groups that can see the instance.
Important tip: Be sure to add the group you are a member of, or you will not be able to edit the field once you Save your changes!
