Programs Access Control Tab

Use this tab to grant access to a program for groups or individual users.

When a user is granted access to a program, they can see the selected program but they cannot automatically see any of the associated projects. If you want them to have access to one or more of the associated projects, you must add them to the Project Access Control List grid (Hubs > Projects > <display project in Detail View> > Access Control tab.

Note: Only users and groups that have been set up in EPM Security Administrator and assigned a named license display in the drop-down fields on this tab.
To edit these fields, you must be one of the following:
  • The program owner
  • A member of the SYSADMIN group
  • A member of a group or a user that has been assigned the OWNER-DELEGATE role

For a description of the fields and menus above the tabs, see Programs Common Fields.

Field Description
Owner

This is the name of the program owner and is only editable on this tab. The name that displays is from the EPM Security Administrator (EPM SA) User General tab First Name and Last Name fields for the owner. If those fields are blank, it displays the EPM SA User ID name for the owner.

It is a read-only field in the Program's List view.

Only the owner and a member of the SYSADMIN group can edit this field. In edit mode, you can select a different name from the drop-down list. The list includes all users who have been assigned a named license in EPM Security Administrator.

When you make a copy of a program, you become the owner and this field changes to your First Name + Last Name or User ID.

Use this grid to assign access to individual users and to groups. The grid header includes the following icons:
  • : Click Filter in the grid header to filter the grid results. The grid updates to display the records that fit the criteria that you enter.

To remove the filter criteria, delete the text from the filter field. The filter remains in effect as long as you are in that view.
