Setting Permissions for Viewing History

In order to be able to view the history of audited objects, which can be done at three levels (history for object types, history for selected objects and history of related changes; see also Viewing History), the user has to be set (through a role) the permissions for appropriate actions.

Proceed subsequently:

• Open the Authorization Manager and choose the desired role in the 'List' tab.
• If you have not defined the authorization for the appropriate action for the role yet, switch to the 'Permission to Technical Types' tab.
• Select the 'Action' item from the 'Technical Elements' combo-box and check the radio button 'by instance'.
• Find and select the action(s) from the list of actions:

.history.all.for.object.type - serves for showing/hiding the menu item Show history for object type in the menu on catalog nodes in sidebar

.history.of.selected.objects - serves for showing/hiding the menu item Show history on selected items in the menu in catalogs of an object type

.history.of.related.changes - serves for showing/hiding the menu item Show history of related changes in the menu on one item selected from catalog of audited changes

• Set the right(s) of the authorization(s) using the 'Select Rights' radio-button bar.
• Add the authorization(s) to the role by clicking the 'Add' button.

Note: If you have already defined the authorization(s) for the action(s) for the selected role, you can change its/their right(s) in the 'List' tab.

Meaning of the set rights:

If a user (through the role) is set the right execute, the system shows the appropriate "history" menu item.

Note: Unless Audit is globally activated and the selected object type has the audit set, the appropriate "history" menu items cannot be shown.

If a user (through the role) is set the right no execute, the system hides the appropriate "history" menu item.
