Permissions can be added to the FEWS configuration to allow users (user groups) to access Explorer tasks, Data Editor functions, Filters, etc..  Permissions can be optionally configured in the following configuration files:

  • Explorer.xml
    • Restrict access to explorer tasks such as the Time Series Dialog or the Grid Display. The tasks will not be available in the menus or toolbar for users which do not have the right permissions
  • TimeSeriesDisplayConfig.xml
    • Control who can add and edit values in the data editor window
    • Control who can add and edit labels in the data editor window
    • Control who can add and edit comments in the data editor window
  • ScenarioEditor.xml
    • Control who can create, edit, delete, persist and run scenarios in the scenario editor window
  • GridDisplay.xml
    • Control which displays are visible in the spatial plot window for the current user
  • Filters.xml
    • Control which filters are visible in the FEWS explorer for the current user
  • DisplayGroups.xml
    • Control which shortcuts are visible in the Time Series Display for the current user
  • WorkflowDescriptors.xml
    • Control which users can view, run and approve workflows in the Forecast Dialog and Manual Forecast Dialog.
    • Also control which users can delete forecasts and change expiry times of forecasts in the Forecast Dialog.
    • NOTE: Using permissions on workflows indirectly influences the behaviour of the scenario editor window. Scenario's, based on hidden or non-runnable workflows are not shown in the scenario editor.
