Using Data Access Controls with Extracts

The user can use Data Access Control (DAC) and Access Control Rights (ACRs) with extracts and working extracts to control workflow. For detailed information about DACs, see the AVEVA Administrator User Guide. When using DACs with extracts, the Aclass (Attribute Class) can be set to restrict access to elements with particular attributes, which can include User Defined Attributes (UDAs).

• Modify the ADMIN Module definition to give access to DICT databases using the EDIT MODULE command in ADMIN as follows:

EDIT MOD ADMIN MODE DICT READ

• Set up an MDB containing the DICT database in which the UDAs are stored, and make sure the user selects it on entering ADMIN. Users will also need to have read access to the DICT database via their MDBs.

  The following simple scenario illustrates how to use UDAs in Data Access Control combined with extracts, to control workflow.

  The Designer Role would give access to all Piping elements except those with the UDA :ISSUED set to TRUE.
