PROTECT

Function

The PROTECT command allows you to change your access rights to DBs.

Description

You can temporarily change your access rights to DBs. You can only reduce your access rights from the set state, never increase them. The change will only apply in the current session.

You can only change access rights to the current MDB.

Examples

An example of using the PROTECT command is shown below:

User SAMPLE enters Plant and selects the MDB to which he has Read/Write access. This MDB contains two current DBs named PIPING/AREA-A and PIPING/AREA-B. The STATUS command will list the DBs as follows:

DB                                TYPE  MODE 
PIPING/AREA-A                     DESI  RW 
PIPING/AREA-B                     DESI  RW

SAMPLE changes his access level to the DB /AREA-B to Read-only status by the command:

PROT  PIPING/AREA-B  READ

The STATUS command will now list the DBs as follows:

DB                                TYPE  MODE
PIPING/AREA-A                     DESI  RW 
PIPING/AREA-B                     DESI  R
