Scope of permission for the Modeler role
Scope of permissions for Modeler role
A user in a Modeler role can read rules that are associated with a model, and can create, edit, delete, and execute rules. (A user in the User Administrator role can only read rules associated with a model.)
A Modeler role can be scoped at the application level or the model site level. At the application level, a user in the Modeler role has full rule permissions across all model sites in the application. At the model site level, a user in the Modeler role has full rule permissions only for the model site for which the Modeler role is defined. In role-based security, there is no inheritance relationship between model sites and model subsites.
Note
To create rules that reference multiple models across model sites, you must be a member of the Modeler role in both the source and target model sites.
For example, suppose you have created an application called MyPerformancePointApplication. Then suppose that application contains a model site called Corporate, and that Corporate has a subsite called Corporate_subsidiary_1. Then the following diagram depicts the relationships between these elements.
MyPerformancePointApplication
|--------------Corporate
|-----------Corporate_subsidiary_1
The following table provides descriptions of a possible permission structure for different modelers who use these models.
