Group Access to ESM Views

Navigation access must be provided to make the Analyze > Data or Analyze > Design View menu options available for selection. Contributor and Reviewer users must be given Group Access to a view in addition to navigation access to access a view. Views available for viewing or updating are listed on the Analyze > Data or Analyze > Design View application pages based on Group Access. For example, if a Contributor or Reviewer user has navigation access to the Analyze Data screen and Group Access to the ABC View, but not the XYZ View, the user will only see the ABC View available for selection to view or edit.

If a user creates a view from an ESM Model in SpotlightXL or Spotlight, that user is the owner of the view and has inherent access to perform all actions on the view no matter if the user has Group Access.

In Practice: Providing a Contributor User with Group Access to an ESM Model

1. Log in to SpotlightXL and navigate to Manage > Group Management > Group Access.

   

2. Select to view all Artifacts, Groups, and Models. ESMs are shown in addition to Analytic and Master models under each section (Models, Views, etc). In the image below, an ESM model is shown under the Model section.

3. Enter or select Yes for each group you want to provide access to the ESM model.

4. Click Save.
