3766268 - Managing User Access Restrictions for Specific Dictionary Items

Symptom

Understand how to manage user access to dictionary items in a workspace, either across the entire dictionary or restricted to specific categories or entries.

Environment

  • Product: SAP Signavio Process Manager
  • Dictionary for SAP Signavio Process Manager

Reproducing the Issue

Resolution

There are two ways to manage this, depending on how broadly you want to apply the restriction: either across the entire dictionary or limited to specific entries or categories.

Full restriction: Applies the restriction across the entire dictionary in one go.

  • Go to Setup → Manage Access Rights
  • Open the Access rights tab
  • Select the Dictionary (top-level) or a parent category
  • Set access:
    • Specific users/groups = Write access
    • All other users/groups = Read-only
    • Apply at the parent level so it cascades to all subcategories
    • Click Save
Specific restriction: Use when you only need to restrict selected areas instead of the full dictionary
  • Go to Setup → Manage Access Rights
  • Open the Access rights tab
  • Select the specific dictionary category
  • Set access:
    • Specific users/groups = Write access
    • All other users/groups = Read-only
    • Click Save
