System Administration
See also: designer authorizations
Access to
system administration functions is controlled by the DESIGNER_SYSADMIN security
authorization. Currently the available functions include display and
maintenance of designer and runtime locks, and editing of system texts. Further
administration functions will be added in the future.
Each time a designer opens an Ebase element, the system takes out a lock. These locks can be viewed and removed using this function. The DESIGNER_SYSADMIN/ALL - READ authorization allows users to display locks; the DESIGNER_SYSADMIN/ALL - WRITE authorization is required to remove a lock.
Caution: removing locks can affect system
integrity.
Runtime
locks are taken out each time a lock script command is executed. Normally,
the lock will be removed by a corresponding unlock command. These locks
can be viewed and removed using this function. The DESIGNER_SYSADMIN/ALL - READ
authorization allows users to display locks; the DESIGNER_SYSADMIN/ALL - WRITE
authorization is required to remove a lock.
Caution: removing locks can affect system
integrity.
